Is it good health, a stable home, safety, comfort, the best education, the ability to discover and play? Quality of life is beyond basic comforts and needs. It is your measurement of satisfaction with life and for a child, quality of life can impact their success in school, sports, and ultimately their development to adulthood. Being a child is all about learning, playing, exploring, and many first-time experiences. One common vision condition may be holding your child back from reaching their full potential. Nearsightedness, which causes distance vision to be blurry, has reached epidemic proportions worldwide.1 Nearsightedness can be caused by both genetic and environmental factors.1 The disease has increased by 66% in the U.S. since 1971.2 By 2050 it is expected nearly half of the world’s population will be nearsighted.1 # Give Your Child the Ability to Learn and Grow Has your child ever struggled to see the front of the classroom clearly? How far can they see on the playground? Can they make out the other side of the street? Glasses and daytime contacts can be a good treatment option, however what if you knew of a treatment that didn’t involve either?
