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!<\/p><p>But jokes aside, myopia is a serious issue. It\u2019s not just about needing glasses; if left unchecked, it can lead to complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and even vision loss. Children\u2019s eyes, still in their developmental stages, are particularly vulnerable to the strain caused by excessive screen time and a lack of outdoor activities.<\/p><h3><b>Enter OWNDAYS: Seeing the Future Clearly<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, OWNDAYS has stepped up to the plate with a game-changing solution: the <\/span><b>Myopia Control 2 Lens<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
