KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 19 (Bernama-PRNewswire) — VISTA, in a collaboration with Hoya Vision Care and Vision Space Optometrists (Vision Space), will be sharing with the public, via Facebook Live Webinar on 25 June 2020 8pm titled ‘Addressing our Children’s Sight: Controlling the progress of Short-Sightedness in the Era of Digitalization’, focusing on the impact of kid’s shortsightedness, how parents can help kids with lifestyle tweaks, clinical methods or special contact lenses and glasses.
“In this era of digitalization, especially since the Covid-19 lockdown, we see more kids with increasing shortsightedness (myopia) due to online classes and the increasing use of digital devices to pacify or occupy kids while parents work from home,” says VISTA Eye Specialist (VISTA) consultant ophthalmologist, Dr Vienne Tai.
