Seeing a clear panel up close and a blurry facade from afar is the daily life of 40% of French people, including many children. In a Parisian school, the “Helen Keller Europe” association comes to screen young people in CP and CM2 for myopia. Although there are no more myopic children than before, vision problems begin at a very young age. Myopic children are getting younger and younger, in nine cases out of ten, it is because of our lifestyles. Our close vision is used every day with screens or books and we do not spend enough time in daylight. Today, in mainland France, more than 500,000 children have progressive myopia. The challenge is to detect it as early as possible to limit its progression. The optical giant “Essilor” has made it its priority. He is developing a brand new lens that helps curb myopia in addition to correcting vision. The lenses have been on the market for two years, at 400 euros per pair and can reimburse twice as much as a pair with classic lenses. More details in the video at the top of this article.
