“A great void in the literature today is a book that is written for parents, and understandable to both children and parents about the management options for nearsightedness (myopia).  Such a large – and increasing – segment of the young population are myopic and, as a parent, it is important to understand myopia and what are the best methods of managing this condition with your children. This void has been filled by this text from Dr. Nick Despotidis, along with Drs. Lee and Tannen. They have authored an easy-to-understand guide on the modern methods of managing myopia including an exciting program, entitled corneal reshaping, that allows qualified young people to only wear a vision correction while sleeping at night.  A must read for every parent!”
