Battling Myopia in the Digital Age: A Call to Action for Parents

In an age where screens seem glued to little hands, myopia—commonly known as nearsightedness—has become an unwelcome guest in many homes. With hours spent staring at smartphones, tablets, and computers, even toddlers seem destined to squint at their future. Singapore is at the epicentre of this epidemic, with 65% of our children being myopic by Primary 6 according to statistics by the Ministry of Health. If this trend continues, we may soon find ourselves struggling to protect our kids from their deteriorating vision!

But jokes aside, myopia is a serious issue. It’s not just about needing glasses; if left unchecked, it can lead to complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and even vision loss. Children’s eyes, still in their developmental stages, are particularly vulnerable to the strain caused by excessive screen time and a lack of outdoor activities.

Enter OWNDAYS: Seeing the Future Clearly

Thankfully, OWNDAYS has stepped up to the plate with a game-changing solution: the Myopia Control 2 Lens. Designed to tackle the root causes of myopia progression, these lenses address peripheral hyperopic defocus, a key factor causing the eye to elongate and worsening myopia.
