What Causes Myopia?
Myopia is on the rise – in its frequency and its severity. The reason for its escalation has been linked to two factors:
Genetics
Kids with one or two myopic parents are more likely to be myopic.
Lifestyle
Spending more time on activities like reading or using handheld devices instead of spending time outdoors increases the likelihood of becoming myopic.

What Is Myopia?
Myopia is a common eye condition. It’s most frequent symptom is nearsightedness, or the inability to see objects clearly at a distance. The reason objects are blurry in the distance with nearsightedness is because the eye becomes longer as the child grows.
A Growing Crisis
In the early 1970s, only 25% of Americans were nearsighted. Today, more than 40% of Americans are nearsighted, and that number is increasing at an alarming rate, especially among school-age children.
