By the year 2050, more than half of the world's population will suffer from myopia.
Optometrist Diana Pérez from Laria Eye Care tells us about myopia and why should parents worry.
Myopia is a visual condition in which the objects that are in the distance look blurry. Parents have to worry since children in the school have to look at the blackboard, at the teachers. They have to see things from a far away and cross the street. This is very difficult due to myopia
Doctor, what are the symptoms and options for treatment
The symptoms of myopia include everything from visual fatigue, squinting their eyes or having to blink many times, they tend to get very close to things to try to see better. The treatments vary, the most common thing we use are eye glasses. There are also soft contact lenses and something that we are very excited is orthokeratology, which is a semi-permeable contact lens that children use at night and it molds the cornea providing the correction they need.. During the day, they wake up and they take it off and it provides good vision all day.

What are the benefits of Acuvue Abiliti contact lenses?
The benefits of these contact lenses is that it gives children independence from glasses. Children often refuse to wear glasses at school, for example There are children who play sports and with sports no matter how good the glasses fit, you do NOT have good peripheral vision in glasses.
For example, children who play Soccer have complete independence from eyeglasses or contact lenses if they use these Acuvue Abiliti at night.
