👀 Is your child showing any of these signs?

1️⃣ Squinting or sitting too close to screens
2️⃣ Complaining of headaches or tired eyes
3️⃣ Struggling to focus on schoolwork or reading
4️⃣ Tilting their head or closing one eye to see better
5️⃣ Avoiding reading, writing, or outdoor play

Why testing your child’s eyesight matters:

Good vision is essential for learning, confidence, and development. Around 80% of what children learn in school is visual, so even a small vision problem can affect their performance, attention span, and self-esteem.

👓 Early testing helps to:

-Detect vision issues before they impact learning

-Prevent eye strain and headaches

-Improve reading, coordination, and classroom participation

-Build confidence through clearer, more comfortable vision

-Ensure healthy eye development as they grow

✨ Give your child the best start, book an eye test today at Rosewall McCarthy Optometrist and help them see their world clearly.

- Difficulty reading or focusing on tasks
- Dizziness or headaches related to visual stimuli
- Eye strain and fatigue

Have you ever wondered what the world looks like through the eyes of someone with myopia (nearsightedness)? How things close up are crisp, but anything further away starts to blur? The Myopia Simulator from All About Vision gives you just that, an immersive, visual way to step into the shoes of those whose distance vision is compromised.

Let’s explore what this simulator is, why it matters, and the surprising benefits it offers, not just as a gimmick, but as a tool for awareness, care, and change.

What is the Myopia Simulator?

The simulator is a digital interactive tool that lets you experience various levels of myopia. By toggling different strengths (or severities) of nearsightedness, you can see how distance vision fades. Think of it like sliding a blur filter over your surroundings, not a vague metaphor, but an actual visual representation.
It’s more than a static image. Because it simulates real-world vision at different stages, you can compare “normal/20-20” vision to, say, −1.00 diopters, −3.00, −6.00, etc., seeing how road signs, faces, landscapes, or horizon lines become progressively fuzzier.

Why It’s Interesting?
For those without vision problems, this gives a window into daily challenges faced by people with myopia. It’s one thing to be told “things are blurry far away,” and another to literally see what that feels like.

Visit our website to view the simulator - you might just be able to 'see the world through different eyes'.
