What Parents Need to Know About Nearsightedness in Kids (Myopia)

As a board-certified pediatric ophthalmologist and adult strabismus surgeon, I’m passionate about helping parents understand the often confusing world of children’s vision health. In this episode, I break down what every parent needs to know about nearsightedness, how screen time affects your child’s eyes, and the real, practical steps you can take to protect their sight. I combine the latest research with what I see every day in clinic—and as a mom of three—to help you feel more confident navigating your child’s vision in today’s digital world.
