According to Optometry Australia's Good Vision for Life Initiative 1 in 5 children suffer from an undetected vision problem. In recent years there has also been increased hours in front of screens for young children. This has in turn led to less hours spent outdoors and an increase in Myopia. Furthermore, At Northern Beaches Optical our qualified practitioners are trained to provide myopia control options and to work together with parents and children to counteract these trends for healthy eyes in the long term.
