Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming more common and at an increasingly younger age. The degree of myopia is also becoming more extreme. Researchers are even speaking of a myopia epidemic. The fact that more and more children are unable to see as well in the distance is due in part to a lot of close viewing on screens.¹ Once myopic, always myopic. So the sooner it is recognized and limited, the better. Fortunately, there are ways to help slown down progressive myopia and to take care of children's eyes.
