Did You Know…Too Much Time Indoors Could Have a Major Impact on a Child's Vision?A new study conducted by The Centre for Ocular Research & Education (CORE), the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry & Vision Science and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, reveals myopia is a global epidemic with prevalence rates in Canadian children increasing at an alarming rate.

She is a fellow of the British College of Optometrists, holds a UK Diplomate in Contact Lens Practice and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry.RESOURCE: http://fightmyopia.ca
