Screen Time: Excessive screen time contributes to myopia progression, with children spending around 6 hours daily on electronic devices.

Outdoor Activities: Spending 60-80 minutes outdoors daily can help relax eye muscles and slow myopia progression.

Genetic Link: Children are more likely to develop myopia if their parents are nearsighted.

Symptoms: Signs of myopia in children include squinting, rubbing eyes, headaches, and difficulty seeing distant objects.

Treatment Options: Eyeglasses, contact lenses, and atropine eyedrops can help correct nearsightedness and slow progression.

Multifocal Contacts: Special multifocal contact lenses can help slow myopia progression in children by defocusing peripheral vision.
