Myopia: clear distance vision at every age
Myopia makes distant objects blurry and is increasingly common in children due to screens and little outdoor time.
Signs
Squinting, sitting close to the board or TV and headaches at the end of the day.
Diagnosis
Accurate refraction (dilated in children) and fundus exam, especially in high myopia.
Control
Proper glasses, visual habits and regular follow-up to monitor progression.
