Did you know outdoor time can protect your child’s vision?

A trial in China found that adding just 40 extra minutes of outdoor play each school day reduced new cases of myopia by over 20% (He et al., JAMA, 2015).

Natural sunlight is one of the most powerful protectors against myopia (blurry distance vision), yet shorter fall days and colder weather mean kids spend less time outside. At Treehouse Eyes, we combine proven treatments with lifestyle guidance to help slow or even stop myopia progression. Give these outdoor fall activities a try!

While we were busy slowing down Summer's myopia with ortho-k, she was busy honing her skills to get into USC! We asked her for some tips that her fellow high-schoolers might find helpful:

"I focused my efforts on extracurriculars surrounding social causes and giving back to the community through leadership."

Some other neat things that Summer has accomplished:

She was the keynote speaker at the Google HQ in addition to being instrumental in raising $36,000 for pediatric cancer research for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

Keep it up, Summer!

Congratulations for Josh for being accepted into Yale! Josh was expanding his horizons while we were ensuring that his myopia wasn't expanding.

We asked Josh what he focused on while in high school and he told us:

"I love creating things together with people, whether that is music, robots, math ideas, theatrical experiences, or food. This love has manifested in the form of building robots with my team and competing against other teams from all around the world; performing at choir concerts in Italy, New Orleans, and Portugal; scribbling various theorems, numbers, and unidentifiable shapes with friends on whiteboards, and making a mess in all of my friends' kitchens. I'm excited to do what I love at Yale in the fall."

Yale is lucky to have you!

What is Myopia?
Myopia means kids see up close clearly but struggle to see things that are far away, like the whiteboard in class.

Myopia is a progressive disease that increases the risk for retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other serious eye diseases later in life.

The good news: Early detection and comprehensive eye exams allow Treehouse Eyes doctors to slow or even stop its progression.

We feel so fortunate to care for our young patients’ eye health and to watch them grow into thriving, confident adults. Meet Aidan.

Aidan worked diligently throughout high school and will be attending SLO in the fall. We asked Aidan to share some wisdom about what it took to get there and he mentioned...taking early/dual enrollment courses at a local college, and being involved in school (key club, robotics, swim team). Aidan also crushed the AP Spanish test as a freshman!

We're super proud of you Aidan!

Small habits, big impact.

According to the 2025 Myopia Consensus Statement, just 40–80 minutes of outdoor time a day can significantly reduce your child’s risk of myopia (blurry distance vision).

And with 1 in 3 children in the U.S. now affected by myopia, that daily dose of sunlight matters more than ever.

Childhood myopia is on the rise—let’s get those eyes outside. Visit TreehouseEyes.com to learn more!
