Myopia in Children

Myopia isn’t just common; it’s also highly prevalent in children. It starts developing during childhood, sometimes as young as 3 years old, and can progress until the age of 20 and beyond.

While experts don’t consider myopia to be a serious condition, it can affect how effectively children can learn in school and can put them at risk for a variety of different eye diseases and conditions, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and even macular degeneration.

Please, take your child in for regular eye exams. Early detection of myopia can help your optometrist start a treatment plan to manage their symptoms.
