  • Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in kids due to more screen time and less outdoor activity. Children with myopia see nearby objects clearly but struggle with distant ones, like the classroom board.

  • Early signs: squinting, sitting too close to screens, frequent eye rubbing, or headaches.

  • Management: Glasses, special myopia-control lenses, low-dose eye drops, and healthy habits like outdoor play. Regular eye check-ups help slow progression and protect long-term vision.
