One of the most increasingly prevalent vision issues in the U.S. in recent years, myopia is up 25% from only 40 years ago-a trend that's expected to continue in the coming decades. And globally, experts predict half of the world's population could be myopic by 2050 with nearly one-fifth at risk for blindness.
