Children will not always tell you if they can’t see properly. Youngsters tend to spend more time on tablets and computers rather than spending time outdoors. Over the last two decades, this has led to a surge in Myopia, or short-sightedness, which often begins in childhood and usually progresses until young adulthood.

Myopia brings with it a much higher risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, and glaucoma. Regular visits to your opticians are crucial so that Myopia can be detected and treated. Thankfully, at Tynedale Eye Clinic, we have a solution to manage this for your child.
