5 Early Signs Your Child Might Have Myopia

 

Myopia often starts in early school years—and it can progress quickly if left unnoticed. Here are five signs to watch for:

 

  1. Squinting to see the board or TV
    Kids might squint or tilt their head to try and sharpen the image.
  2. Sitting too close to screens
    Whether it’s a tablet, phone, or TV, they prefer it just inches from their eyes.
  3. Complaints of blurry vision
    They may mention they “can’t see that far” or say things look fuzzy at a distance.
  4. Frequent headaches
    Especially after reading or screen time—this could be due to eye strain.
  5. Holding books or devices very close
    Excessive close-up viewing is often a compensation for blurry distance vision.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t panic—but do book an eye exam. Early detection makes managing myopia much easier.
