Myopia cases rise among children in Ahmedabad

According to Dr. Neera Kanjani, an ophthalmologist in Ahmedabad, before the pandemic, four out of every ten children who came in for a check-up were diagnosed with myopia, but today the proportion has risen to six. “About 20% of new paediatric patients are already reporting high numbers despite it having no history,” she said. “We’re seeing an increase in the number of people who use glasses as well.”

The key cause, according to experts, is the widespread use of digital devices such as mobile phones, laptop computers, and desktop computers. According to experts, some people were reported to be using screens for six to seven hours a day since they attended both school and coaching lessons online.

Another city-based ophthalmologist, Dr. Manish Joshi, stated that children’s difficulties reading lettering on blackboards would often inspire parents to seek a check-up. “The distance between the eyes and screens has decreased as a result of the pandemic,” he explained. “As a result, in many cases, youngsters presented with myopia, requiring the use of high-powered glasses.” Eye drops are also being prescribed by professionals to patients who are experiencing eye irritation, impaired vision, or double vision. They recommend limiting screen time, taking frequent breaks, and eating green vegetables and carrots.
