Does The Use of Digital Devices Cause Myopia?

08-10-2023

Myopia is becoming an increasingly common vision defect, especially in children and young adults. The prevalence of digital devices such as phones and tablets has been linked to an increase in myopia, although research is not yet definitive about the cause.

At nVision Eyecare, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if digital device use is having a negative impact on one’s vision. We strive to provide the best possible optometric care for our patients, helping them to identify and manage any myopia symptoms they may be experiencing.

Our highly qualified optometrists are skilled in a range of myopia control techniques, including prescribing special contact lenses that can help slow or even stop the progression of myopia in young patients. We also provide a comprehensive eye health examination which will detect any signs of myopia early, allowing our optometrists to advise on the best course of action for treatment.
