They have an online focus group running on Tuesday 4th October 6:30-8:30pm, which will give you information about what short-sightedness is, why it happens, and what methods can be used to stop it getting worse.

Should you have any questions, or are interested but cannot attend this date, please email myopia-research@bradford.ac.uk to be considered for future meetings.
