As parents, we always want the best for our children, especially when it comes to their health. But when it comes to myopia (short-sightedness), myths can lead to confusion. At A-Ha Vision, we believe education about eyecare is vital.
What is Fact and What is Fiction?
There are many misconceptions about myopia – luckily, our eye doctor is here to help you kick those myopia myths to the curb and understand the best options for your child’s vision health.
Myth: a child will outgrow myopia. Unfortunately, this is one of the most common misconceptions. Myopia doesn’t just go away with time.
Fact: myopia typically worsens as children grow. Regular eye exams at A-Ha Vision can monitor myopia progression and offer early intervention to slow its progression.
Myth: wearing glasses worsens myopia. Some parents worry that wearing glasses will make their child's myopia worse. This simply isn’t true. Glasses help correct vision and reduce eye strain. We emphasize the importance of a combination of glasses along with vision therapy for optimized results.
Myth: myopia can’t be managed. You may believe that there is no solution to managing your child's myopia. Fact: there are effective ways to manage myopia! At A-Ha Vision, we offer a host of options to help manage your child’s myopia.
