More than correcting short-sightedness, we can help slow its progression.
Our Myopia Management service uses the latest evidence-based technology and specialist optical solutions designed to slow the progression of myopia in children. We carefully assess, monitor and manage your child’s changing vision with a personalised long-term plan.
Key points
- Myopia is a progressive eye disorder which affects vision, quality of life and increases eye health risks across a person’s lifetime
- Myopia typically starts before age 10 and then deteriorates every few to several months until it stabilizes in the late teens or early 20s
- Myopia control treatments are available to slow down the progression, or worsening, of childhood myopia. These include special types of spectacle lenses (glasses), soft contact lenses, ortho-k contact lenses and atropine eye drops
- Myopia control has short-term benefits of better vision between eye exams and long-term benefits of protecting eye health
