There are various factors that can influence the development of myopia, commonly known as short-sightedness, in children. One significant factor is genetics, as myopia often runs in families.
Environmental factors also play a role, including prolonged engagement in near-sighted activities such as reading or screen usage, as well as limited outdoor activities. Poor visual hygiene, such as incorrect reading distance and posture, and inadequate eye care, such as infrequent eye exams, can also contribute to myopia in children. It is often a combination of genetic and environmental factors that leads to myopia in children, emphasising the importance of proper eye care and healthy visual habits from an early age.
With recent advances, it is now possible to control the progression of myopia in children, offering the gift of lower spectacle prescriptions.
