“It’s just always been in the blood,” he says. “When I was a kid, I was always visiting my dad in the bush and helping with things and sitting on his lap trying to operate the machines.” 

Now he operates them for real.

“We’re seeing this condition start to creep up with younger and younger ages due to our setting,” says Doctor Kelly Enns, owner and optometrist at Sage Creek Eye Centre. “Being on tablets and cell phones, reading a ton, and indoor time in general.”
