Myopia Management
Myopia (short-sightedness) involves the eyeball being too long or too powerful. This results in blurred distance vision, however vision for close objects is clear within a certain range of distances. Please watch the video for more information about myopia.
Myopia Control aims to decrease the risk of development of myopia and reduce the progression (worsening) of myopia in young children.
You might be wondering how a myopia management examination differs from a regular eye examination. There are a few keys difference that are crucial in diagnosing and managing myopia correctly.
Our Most Common Treatment
MiSight 1 day Contact Lenses
MiSight™ contact lenses utilise ActivControl™ Technology which results in clear distance, intermediate and near vision while the peripheral treatment zones of the lens creates myopic retinal defocus that has been shown to control the rate of progression of myopia.
Essilor Stellest
Essilor Stellest spectacle lenses use a novel and innovative Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target lens technology referred to as H.A.L.T. to slow myopia progression. The study into the effectiveness of Stellest lenses showed a reduction of myopia progression of 67% and a reduction in axial eye growth of 60% when compared with the placebo group wearing standard single vision lenses.
Orthokeratology
OrthoK lenses correct vision while you sleep. The lens gently changes the shape of the cornea which in turn correct myopia and has been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children.
