WHAT IS MYOPIA?

Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a common condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. It typically begins in childhood and can worsen as the eyes grow.Higher levels of myopia not only affect daily vision but can increase the risk of future eye health issues such as retinal detachment or glaucoma.

How Myopia Management Helps

  • MiSight contact lenses by CooperVision – daily lenses specifically designed for myopia management in children.

  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)lenses – worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea for clear day time vision without glasses or lenses.

  • Specialist spectacle lenses that support myopia control with precise optical correction.

Each plan is personalised following a detailed eye health examination and ongoing monitoring.
