Myopia Management

MYOPIA MANAGEMENT

Is your child’s glasses prescription constantly changing? Are you concerned about the long-term risks of high myopia, such as retinal detachment?

At Crofton Park Opticians, we understand the challenges of myopia progression and are here to help with our Myopia Management programme.

Myopia control uses a range of treatments to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children and teenagers. Studies show that effective myopia management can significantly reduce the risk of developing high myopia, lowering the chance of serious eye conditions later in life.

Our programme offers several proven myopia control options, including MiYOSmart spectacle lenses, Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), and centre-distance contact lenses such as MiSight , which can slow myopia progression by up to 60%.

But controlling myopia isn’t just about lenses. Time spent outdoors can also reduce the risk of progression. We recommend the 30-30 rule: for every 30 minutes of near work, take a 30-second break to focus on something at least 30 feet away. This helps reduce eye strain and encourages healthy outdoor habits.

We take a proactive, personalised approach to myopia management, working closely with each child and their family to create a plan that fits their needs and lifestyle. Regular eye exams and axial length measurements help us monitor progress and ensure treatments are effective.

Don’t wait for your child’s myopia to worsen. Take control of their vision today with our myopia management services.
