Many experts call Myopia a “quiet epidemic” because of its misleadingly common name: “nearsightedness.” It doesn’t sound alarming, so many parents take a “wait-and-see” approach when their child is diagnosed.
However, ignoring Myopia can lead to severe vision problems later in life. The good news? Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage its effects and protect your child’s vision — now and in the future.
What can you do?
The best way to protect your child’s vision and find out if they have Myopia is through annual eye exams with a licensed Optometrist like those at the California Myopia Center, located in the office of Leonard-Bennett Optometry (formerly Dr. Barry Leonard & Associates). School vision screenings often miss early signs of Myopia, so a professional exam is essential.
