Protecting Your Child’s Vision
Your child’s eyesight is crucial to their learning and development. Myopia (nearsightedness) is a condition that makes distant objects appear blurry. As your child grows, their myopia can often worsen, increasing the risk of eye diseases later in life if left untreated.
Our experienced team can help. We offer personalized myopia control solutions to help slow its progression and safeguard your child’s vision. Early intervention is key to managing myopia effectively.
Let our family look after yours. Schedule an appointment with us today to explore how we can support your child’s eye health.
What Is Myopia?
Myopia is a common refractive error many patients develop. When the eye grows too long, or the cornea is too curved, light focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in clear vision up close but blurred vision at a distance.
Myopia develops in childhood and often progresses until early adulthood. Genetics, increased screen time, and limited outdoor activities can contribute to its development.
The Risks of High Myopia
High myopia, or a correction of -5.00 dioptres or more, is more than needing a stronger glasses prescription. The elongated shape of a highly myopic eye puts extra strain on the retina and other structures and can significantly increase the risk of various eye diseases.
Patients with high myopia are more susceptible to conditions like:
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Retinal detachment
- Retinal tears
- Myopic macular degeneration
- Vision loss
Implementing myopia control strategies during childhood can help reduce these risks and promote long-term eye health.
Our Myopia Control Treatments
We offer a range of myopia control treatments tailored to your child’s needs. We may suggest:
- Atropine eye drops, which are medicated drops that help relax the eye’s focusing muscles have been shown to slow myopia progression by up to 50%.
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) contact lenses are custom-fit, rigid gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. They provide clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or contacts.
- MiSight 1 Day contact lenses are designed for children as young as 8. These daily disposable lenses correct vision and feature specialized rings that help control myopia progression.
