In this episode of Explain It to Me, Doc, we’re joined by Dr. Shaun Golemba of Valley Vision Optometry to talk about how he’s using social media to help parents and kids better understand nearsightedness, also known as myopia.
Together, we discuss:
- Why more kids are becoming nearsighted—and why glasses alone aren’t the full solution
- How Dr. Golemba uses short, simple videos to explain eye health in a way that actually makes sense
- The tools and treatments available today to slow down myopia and protect long-term vision
- Why he believes education and prevention are the key to healthier eyes and happier patients
- What parents should know if their child’s vision is changing—or if they’re wearing stronger glasses each year
If you’ve ever felt confused about what myopia really is or what you can do to help your child, this conversation breaks it down clearly and simply.
