Hello parents! If you’re looking for more answers about Myopia, you’ve come to the right place. Team Essilor is here to help you learn about Myopia in children and give you a solution to slow down its progression. The first myth to be aware of is... ‘Are genetics the cause of Myopia in children?’ 
We often hear about the debate between genetics versus environmental factors as the cause of Myopia development. The genetic predisposition of myopic parents increases the risk of developing Myopia, but this is not the only cause of a child becoming Myopic. Global researchers strongly argue that environmental risk factors cause the rapid increase in Myopia progression and a direct cause of Myopia in kids.
Myopia is not all about genetics, there are some things we can consider at early stage, including novel spectacle lenses that can slow down the progression of myopia very effectively.
To summarize our topic for today, here are 3 takeaways we can keep in mind:

- There are no systematic genetic transmission of Myopia in children.
- There’s an increased risk if parents of the child are Myopic.
