It is not uncommon for parents to come into the pediatric ophthalmology clinic with concerns that their child is myopic. For many of us, especially in years past, we might have said ‘Don’t worry about it. There’s not too much we can do anyway.’ But as the rates of myopia have continued to increase over the last several decades, more attention has been given to this topic. Some have even referred to a ‘myopia epidemic’ that has developed. So why is this important, if at all? Should we be concerned about the rising rates of myopia? What is causing this? And ultimately, should our concern level be high enough to warrant starting treatment in some of these patients? Dr. Rupa Wong joins the podcast.
