We often get approached by patients seeking a second opinion on what to do with their child who’s prescription is getting worse and worse every single year. Myopia or nearsightedness - as some people call it - is an epidemic these days because of extended computer use. The average adolescent spends 6 hours a day or more looking at screens - which is a lot more than our forefathers did. Because of this, by 2040, which isn’t too far away from now, half the world's population will be nearsighted. There are lots of wonderful nearsighted opportunities to halt the progression and use the latest treatment technologies to help this epidemic.
