Why are Asian kids more nearsighted?

5/9/2019

Asian kids in China and Singapore are more myopic and start earlier than American and Europe.
Chinese kids in North America are myopic and start earlier than their non Chinese classmates too.
Why is that? Watch the video above to find out more.

Ask if your child reads with frequent breaks, and have enough sun in the day.

Sally:
I've been a patient at multiple optometry clinics before and I can say that Warden Optometry gives the best service. Over the past 3 years, I've gotten 3 routine eye examinations from Dr. Liang and each went very smoothly. She tells you exactly what she's doing and you get to learn new information during your examination. I recently decided to get contacts and she went through step-by-step on how to use and take care of them. She is very passionate about what she does and I would definitely recommend a visit to Warden Optometry!

My son became the patient of Dr. Liang since 2012. He likes reading a lot. Which led him become nearsighted. I am so worried that the situation being worse if not being controlled. Therefore, we checked twice a year and asked for advice. Dr. Liang is very experienced and knowledgable. She has many ways of (myopia) controling and prevention. My son tried several ways and made adjustments during the period, and finally find the best solution.!. Thank you Dr. Liang for your professional service!

Denise:
Overall, I am very happy with the prescription and lens therapy to date with Dr. Liang. Prevention and early detection is key to eyesight, so we are very fortunate to have started the treatment process.
