How modern life is risking our children’s sight
Modern childrens’ increased use of screens and the decrease in outdoor play, is leading to a growth in short-sightedness due to our eyes becoming longer (less round).
That stretching means an increased risk of retinal detachment and myopic macular degeneration and significantly increased risk of Glaucoma and cataract in later life.
This has been described as a tsunami of potential eyecare issues which is predicted to get worse due to the way our children live their lives with long hours using computers and mobile phones.
We now offer revolutionary new contact lenses designed to reduce the progression of short-sightedness, which are only available from Pagan & McQuade locally.
