Managing Myopia in Children: Early Intervention Matters

Myopia (nearsightedness) is increasingly common among children, especially with increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity. Vision problems in children like myopia can lead to academic challenges, eye strain, and, in severe cases, long-term retinal risks.

At Pristine Eye Hospitals, our approach to managing myopia includes:

  • Routine school-aged eye exams

  • Prescription glasses or contact lenses

  • Myopia control lenses and low-dose atropine treatment

  • Counseling on screen-time management and outdoor activity

  • Regular monitoring to slow myopia progression

When Should a Child Have Their First Eye Exam?

The importance of early eye exams for children can’t be overstated. Pediatric vision screening should follow these key milestones:

  • First eye exam at 6 months

  • Toddler eye exam around 2–3 years

  • School-readiness exam at age 5

  • Regular check-ups every 1–2 years afterward

Early diagnosis allows for timely intervention, reducing the risk of long-term complications such as amblyopia and pediatric glaucoma.

Symptoms of Vision Problems in Children

Be alert to signs such as:

  • Squinting or frequent eye rubbing

  • Sitting too close to screens

  • Avoiding reading or close-up tasks

  • Head tilting or covering one eye

  • Poor performance in school
