Is your child coming home frustrated because of school? Are their grades declining? Maybe they are struggling to remember facts and figures and finding it hard to keep up with the latest lessons. Many times, when a child is struggling in school it may have to do with poor vision, specifically nearsightedness.1 Nearsightedness is where far away objects appear blurry and out-of-focus. Nearsighted children can struggle to see the chalkboard, projector, and T.V. screen. Nearsightedness, also known as myopia, is a common vision condition that is rapidly on the rise. By 2050 it is expected nearly half of the world’s population will be myopic.1 Paragon Vision Sciences offers a life-changing treatment option for nearsightedness that can enhance your child’s quality of life.
Don’t Let Your Child Live with Limits
Children approach life without limits. Their energy is endless. Their dreams are boundless. And their vision of their future is filled with exciting possibilities! However, vision issues can place limitations on childhood development that can directly impact their quality of life.2 Performance in the classroom, out on the playing field, and socializing with peers can all be compromised by nearsightedness.
Treatment like Orthokeratology can have a positive impact on a child’s quality of life.3 Orthokeratology is the use of contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea to treat vision conditions like nearsightedness.
