The illustration above is what your child might see if they are nearsighted. There are varying degrees of nearsightedness that your child can suffer from. Nearsightedness is where distant objects are blurry and out of focus. Even a low prescription of nearsightedness can alter your child’s perception of the world. When a child is nearsighted there are many factors that limit their quality of life.
- Risk of breaking glasses.
- Worry over lost daytime contacts.
- The hassle of sports goggles.
- Lower self-esteem.
- Unwilling to try new things.
- Less active in sports.
- Discomfort from glasses or daytime contacts.
- Hindrance towards an ability to learn.
- Challenges to social skills.1
These are all inconveniences that can come with being nearsighted for a child. Your child can avoid these issues and safely correct their vision by switching to overnight contact lenses!
