Myopia — commonly known as nearsightedness — causes distant objects to appear blurry, making it harder for children to see the board at school, recognize faces across the playground, or fully engage in the world around them.

And it’s more common than many realize: nearly 1 in 3 children worldwide are affected by myopia, and rates continue to rise each year.

When the world is out of focus, learning, confidence, and connection can be impacted, too. Early detection and regular comprehensive eye exams can help keep kids seeing clearly — and thriving.
