In the early 1970s, only 25% of Americans were nearsighted. Today, more than 40% of Americans have myopia and that number is increasing at an alarming rate, especially among school-aged children. Myopia is being diagnosed in children earlier than ever before. This gives it more time to progress and worsen. Higher amounts of myopia significantly increase the risk of sight threatening complications for you child later in life.
