Myopia or near sightedness often starts in childhood, and in the past parents and doctors alike thought genetics was the biggest risk for your kid needing to wear glasses. BUT we now know genetics plays a role, but it’s a LOT less of an impact than how kids are growing up in their unique environment and lifestyle. The single biggest thing you can do to reduce the risk your child will need glasses has NOTHING to do if mom and dad need glasses too - it’s all about getting outside. Studies show spending at least 2️⃣ hours outdoors daily can lower a child’s overall risk of developing myopia by up to 50% compared to children who spend less than an hour outside.

What else can you do to reduce your child’s risk? Hold reading material or screens further away from the face (the sweet spot is called the Harmon distance, and if you bend your arm at the elbow parallel to the floor, that’s as close as your near activity should get) and getting a consistent 8 hours of regular sleep every night both help reduce myopia risk. Routine comprehensive eye exams are essential to detect the early beginnings of eye muscle issues that will lead to needing glasses so they can be addressed before the eyes begin to decline, and to correct myopia at its earliest amounts to slow the worsening of childhood prescriptions that can lead to extremely high adult prescriptions.
