Myopia: What Every Parent Should Know

As both a pediatric ophthalmologist and a mom of three, I’ve had countless conversations with parents who feel anxious every time their child’s prescription gets stronger. You’re not imagining it — childhood myopia is becoming more common, and it can progress faster than most people realize.

But here’s the good news: there are now proven ways to slow it down.

Over the years, I’ve created videos, podcasts, and blog posts to help families understand what’s really happening with their child’s eyes — and what they can do about it. Whether you’re just starting to notice changes in your child’s vision or you’ve been managing myopia for years, this page brings everything together in one place.

My goal is simple: to help you make confident, informed choices that protect your child’s long-term eye health.
