If you’re a parent and your child was just told they’re nearsighted (or myopic), you probably have a lot of questions. What does this mean? Will it get worse? What should you do next?
In this episode, Dr. Shefali Miglani sits down with Dr. Marie Homa-Paladino—an optometrist, mom of two nearsighted kids, and a national expert in myopia management. They talk parent-to-parent about what’s happening with kids’ vision today, why myopia is on the rise, and what real steps you can take—both at home and with your doctor—to protect your child’s eyesight.
You’ll learn:
- What myopia really is and why it’s more than just needing glasses
- How screen time and lifestyle changes are affecting our kids’ vision

- Tips for helping your child at home, including how to use screen time limits on devices
- How treating myopia can actually boost your child’s confidence and social life
