Myopia Action Month raises awareness about myopia (short-sightedness) and its impact on eye health.

Myopia is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly.

This month, our focus is on encouraging regular eye check-ups and promoting strategies to slow down the progression of myopia. There is an increasing prevalence of myopia worldwide, particularly among young people. Increased screen time, reduced outdoor activities, and genetic predisposition contribute to this rise.
