What is Myopia And Why Are We Seeing it Increase in Children?
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a common vision condition that causes distant objects to appear out of focus. It’s becoming increasingly common in children, raising concerns for many parents. But what’s driving this rise, and how can it be managed effectively?
In this blog, we break down the causes of myopia, including both genetic influences and everyday habits that may contribute to its development. You’ll also find practical advice on how to help prevent or slow its progression, along with an overview of the myopia control options available at Martyn Kemp Opticians to support your child’s vision now and in the future.
