Did you know 65% of Singapore kids are myopic by age 12?

Myopia a.k.a short-sightedness is a refractive error that you can see clearly at a near distance but blurry at distance. In Singapore, the prevalence of myopia is among the highest in the world, with 65% of kids being myopia by primary 6 (age 12) and 83% when they are young adults.
