📌 Why Is Myopia Increasing So Quickly?
👓 It’s not just about needing glasses.

Myopia happens when the eye grows longer permanently, and this increases the risk of:
⚠️ Retinal detachment
⚠️ Myopic macular degeneration
⚠️ Other long-term vision problems

🌏 In East Asia, children are becoming myopic at younger ages, and their myopia progresses faster.
Why?
🏠 More indoor time
📱 More screen use
📚 Higher academic pressure
🏙️ Urban lifestyles with less outdoor exposure

📈 Myopia is rising worldwide, but the rates differ across regions and ethnicities.

👀 The good news:
Early eye checks + proper myopia control = better long-term vision protection.
Don’t wait- healthier eyes start now!

📌 为什么近视人数越来越多？
👓 近视并不仅仅是戴眼镜的问题。

近视是因为 眼轴永久拉长，这会增加以下风险：
⚠️ 视网膜脱落
⚠️ 近视性黄斑病变
⚠️ 其他长期视力问题

🌏 在东亚地区，孩子近视的年龄越来越早，度数发展也更快。
原因包括：
🏠 室内时间过多
📱 屏幕使用量增加
📚 更高的学业压力
🏙️ 城市化生活、户外时间不足

📈 全球近视率持续上升，但不同地区和族群受到的影响不一样。

👀 好消息是：
及早验眼＋正确的近视控制 = 更好的长期视力健康。
别等了，现在就守护孩子的眼睛！

Semi-Scleral Contact Lens Success Story

At Family Eyecare Optometry Centre, we recently managed a patient with bilateral keratoconus who struggled with very poor unaided vision.

👁️ Before (Unaided Vision):
Right Eye: Counting Fingers @ 30 cm
Left Eye: 3/60
The patient had significant blur and could not rely on spectacles due to the irregular corneal shape caused by keratoconus.

After Fitting Semi-Scleral Lenses (Best Vision):
Right Eye: 6/7.5+2
Left Eye: 6/7.5+2

Take-Home Message
If you or your loved ones have keratoconus, distorted vision, or poor results with glasses, semi-scleral contact lenses may change your life.

半巩膜隐形眼镜成功个案分享
在 Family Eyecare Optometry Centre，我们最近为一位双眼圆锥角膜的患者进行管理。她的裸眼视力非常差，日常视觉受到严重影响。

👁️ 配戴前：
右眼： 30 公分数指
左眼： 3/60
由于圆锥角膜导致角膜形状不规则，患者无法依靠眼镜获得清晰视力。

👁️ 验配半巩膜隐形眼镜后（最佳矫正视力）：
右眼： 6/7.5+2
左眼： 6/7.5+2
视力显著提升，视觉更清晰、更稳定，生活品质大幅改善。

温馨提醒
如果您或家人有圆锥角膜、视力变形或戴眼镜效果不佳，
半巩膜隐形眼镜或许能改变您的视力与生活。

Fundus photo shows a tilted optic disc with peripapillary atrophy, commonly seen in high myopia. A small flame-shaped haemorrhage is noted near the superior disc rim. The macula appears flat and healthy.

👀 What is Premyopia? / 什么是前近视？
Premyopia means a child’s eyes are not yet short-sighted, but at high risk of developing myopia soon.
前近视是指孩子的眼睛还没有近视，但有很高的风险会发展成近视。

⚠️ Often happens when children have less than normal farsightedness for their age.
⚠️ 常见于孩子的远视度数低于同龄正常水平。

💡 Children with premyopia need regular eye checks. Early screening and myopia control can slow down or prevent progression.
💡 有前近视的孩子应当定期检查视力。及早筛查和近视控制可以延缓或预防近视的发展。

👓 Bring your child for an eye screening at Family Eyecare Optometry Centre today — early action means healthier vision for the future!
👓 今天就带孩子来 家庭眼科视光学中心做眼睛筛查 —— 及早行动 = 给孩子未来更健康的视力！

👀 Myopia (short-sightedness) is rising fast worldwide – nearly 50% of people may be myopic by 2050.
✨ The good news: modern treatments can slow down myopia in children.

✅ Effective options:
1.Myopia control glasses & contact lenses / 近视控制眼镜与隐形眼
镜
2.Orthokeratology (night lenses) / 角膜塑形镜（夜戴镜）
3.Low-dose atropine eye drops / 低浓度阿托品滴眼液
4.Combination treatments (best results) / 联合治疗（效果最佳）

❌Ordinary single-vision glasses do NOT slow down myopia / 普通单光眼镜无法控制近视发展。

💡 Early action = better protection for your child’s eyes / 及早干预 = 更好地保护孩子的眼睛。
