Myopia, commonly known as short-sightedness, is becoming increasingly common among children. A child with myopia can usually see nearby objects clearly but may have difficulty seeing things that are far away. What are the signs of myopia in children? Parents may notice that a child: Squints while looking at distant objects Sits very close to the television or classroom board Holds books or screens very close to the face Complains of headaches or eye strain Has difficulty reading what is written on a distant board Frequently rubs their eyes Sometimes children do not realise that their vision has changed because they assume everyone sees the same way. This is why regular eye examinations can be important. Screen time and outdoor activities Children spend a significant amount of time studying, using smartphones, tablets and computers. Maintaining healthy visual habits is important. Encouraging children to take regular breaks during near work and spending adequate time outdoors can be part of a healthy approach to children's eye care. Why should children's eyesight be checked?

A comprehensive eye examination can help identify myopia and other vision problems at an early stage. Parents should consider an eye check-up if they notice changes in their child's vision or behaviour. Healthy eyes are an important part of a child's learning and development.
