What Is Myopia?

Approximately 30% of Canadians have myopia, a common refractive error. If you have myopia, nearby objects appear clearly while faraway images look blurry. Many people develop this condition when they’re children. It has been projected that by the year 2050, approximately 50% of the world’s population will suffer from myopia.

While myopia can develop early in childhood, your child may not know they have a vision problem. They may assume everyone sees as they do, making it important to watch for signs of an eye problem in your child.

Your child may have myopia if they experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Trouble seeing the front of the classroom clearly
  • Partially closing their eyelids or squinting to see clearly
  • Headaches caused by eyestrain
  • Frequent eye rubbing & excessive blinking
  • A desire to sit close to the television or at the front of the classroom to see
