I had planned to write an article today, to (again) talk about how child’s eyes aren’t the same as adult eyes.
Or rather, the child brain isn’t the same as the adult brain.
I’ve seen both a lot better success with children and improving eyesight than with adults, and a lot less success as well. The common thread in whether or not you get your child’s eyes back to great vision, is always the same.
Understanding child motivation is key to success.
Unlike the adult premise of 0.75 to 1.25 diopters a year of consistent improvement, your goal for your child should be more flexible and long term focused.
You want them to see well without glasses, for their whole lives.
Next week’s, next month’s, next year’s vision improvement numbers, not nearly as important. Stopping myopia progression, that’s important. Catching myopia ideally, before you start having your kids wear those minus lenses, that would be ideal. But the regimented approach to myopia reversal that works for you as an adult, won’t go over nearly as well for a seven year old.
And because I’m not up for typing this all out today, you’ll have to make do with my unshaven mug, telling the story instead.
As always, give it a thumbs up if you’re in favor of videos to keep coming. I’m still of the mind that less of my face = better, and your thumbs clicks help keep things motivated despite that.
For more about child myopia, there’s a whole section right here in the blog.
