Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while near objects are clear. Evidence is mounting that myopia is growing around the world, with a recent study estimating that on average, 30% of the world is currently myopic and by 2050, almost 50% will be myopic.

 

Myopia is becoming increasingly prevalent among children and adolescents due to factors like prolonged screen time, lack of outdoor activities, and genetic predisposition. Left unmanaged, myopia can progress and lead to higher prescriptions and an increased risk of serious eye health issues, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

​

At our clinic, we specialise in myopia control, offering scientifically proven treatments to slow the progression of myopia and safeguard your child’s vision for years to come.

 

What Are Myopia Control?

 

Myopia control encompasses a range of treatment strategies designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens. By addressing the underlying causes and reducing the rate at which myopia worsens, we can help preserve your child’s eye health and reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses over time.

Myopia Control Treatment Options

 

We offer a range of evidence-based solutions tailored to your child’s needs:

 

1) Specialised Spectacle Lenses
Stellest, Miyosmart, MyoStock
These innovative lenses are designed specifically to manage myopia progression. These lenses correct vision while applying a myopia control effect to slow down eye elongation.

​​

2) Contact Lenses
MiSight® Contact Lenses
These daily disposable lenses are clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 6-12. They are comfortable, easy to use, and effective in reducing myopia progression.​

3) Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine drops are a safe and effective way to slow the progression of myopia. Applied before bedtime, they work by relaxing the eye's focusing mechanism and reducing eye strain.
