Myopia Action Month

Myopia typically begins in childhood, but it can also develop in middle age, even if you've had no prior vision issues. As your distance vision gradually blurs, you may not immediately notice that your sight is less clear than others’. You might find yourself squinting to improve focus, which can often lead to headaches.

Myopia Action Month

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.

Allergies

Allergies are a common concern for many children. If your little one has itchy, red, or watery eyes, it could be a sign of allergies. Environmental factors like pollen or mold are often the culprits. Unfortunately, children tend to rub their eyes when they feel discomfort, which can make the symptoms even worse. If you're unsure what's behind your child’s eye discomfort, visit Specsavers Opticians Zimbabwe, where our optometrists are ready to help.

Undetected and untreated vision problems can lead to conditions like lazy eye or crossed eyes, which are often harder to address later. Ensure your child’s eye health is in good condition by visiting any of our branches for a comprehensive eye exam.
