While Myopia Awareness Week is drawing to a close, caring for your eyes never stops. The earlier myopia is detected, the easier it is to slow its progression. Bring your kids to get their eyes examined today! Don't lose sight of what's important! #planoapp #MyopiaAwarenessWeek

#Myopia affects a significant proportion of schoolchildren in East Asia with a reported prevalence of 73.9% in Singaporean teenagers. Through advocacy and action today, we can slow its progression: bit.ly/VIIMyoT @brienholden @WorldCouncilOpt @MyopiaMovement

We are asking that YOU join our movement. We cannot tackle #myopia alone... but with an army of optometrists, we can tackle myopia one set of eyes at a time - together we can reverse the trend! @MyopiaMovement #MyopiaMovement @WorldCouncilOpt

An estimated 50% of the world will be myopic (#nearsighted) by 2050 – a seven-fold increase from today. #Myopia could become the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. What can we do about this today? bit.ly/VIIMyoT #myopiamovement
