Myopia is on the rise- Dr. Milad Modabber

👓 Have you noticed more kids showing up in the clinic with glasses lately? It’s not just your imagination. Childhood myopia is on the rise worldwide. By mid-century, nearly half the global population is expected to be nearsighted. And this isn’t just about stronger prescriptions. Progressive #myopia carries higher lifetime risks for retinal detachment, #glaucoma, and even vision loss. The good news: we can intervene. Outdoor play, screen hygiene (hello 20-20-20 rule), and evidence-based myopia management: specialty lenses, contact lenses, and low-dose atropine, can all help slow progression. This is a conversation worth having in every exam room and every community. 👉 How are you approaching myopia management in your pediatric population? 📹Dr. Milad Modabber References: Global Prevalence of Myopia and High Myopia and Temporal Trends from 2000 through 2050 Holden, Brien A. et al.
