This makes me frightened for my daughters both in their 30s with high prescriptions. I would love it it there was a way to reverse it. If I had known this when their were young I would have done everything to help them. I took them every year for higher prescription glasses and know now it made them worse. I am so upset
I'm 78 & when I was a child in the 1950's, excessively watching television was blamed for children becoming myopic! We were told by our parents to not watch too close to the 'screen"! Today, our children routinely look at computers, I-Pads & other devices, 18" from their eyes, for many hours! It's no wonder that kids are becoming myopic at an alarming rate!
I was myopic at age 6. Glaucoma diagnosed at age 30. Cataract surgery both eyes in late 50s. Retinal detachment at 65 requiring emergency surgery which was successful. With all this I'm legally blind but can still eee enough to function. It sucks. I miss having good vision. My myopia prescription ranged from around -2.5 to -3.5 until I had cataract surgery, now I need glasses to see close instead. I think I prefer it this way but it took a while to get used to it.
I’m questioning outdoor time as I’ve read for it to be effective it’s got to be like noon time or when light is at its brightest. Overcast or early morning exposure does not have the same effect. Also, I’m wondering because you’re out in the middle of the day when the sun is at its highest you’re more prone to cataracts. So which is worse? Also, I have never been told any of this material that you have explained on the hazards of being myopic. I’ve been wearing contacts since age 20 and am 69 and wear multifocal lenses. Never once as my optometrist mentioned any of this.

This is wonderful.
Great content. The issue with the OrthoK is extreme dry eye… is there anything you can recommend
Castor oil

Dr I notice that in my right eye I have to bring things closer and my left eye farther away... So is it late to correct or can it be corrected
