Understanding Myopia: A Growing Concern We Can Address Together
Short-sightedness affects one in three people across the UK, and we’re seeing more children developing this condition than ever before. While this might sound worrying, we want to reassure you that we have excellent solutions available.
Myopia occurs when the eyes grow slightly longer than usual, making distant objects appear blurred whilst close-up vision stays sharp. Family history certainly plays a part—if one or both parents have the condition, your little one may be more likely to develop it too. Today’s digital world, with increased screen time and less outdoor play, also contributes to this trend. The encouraging news? We can effectively manage and slow its progression.
Our Gentle, Proven Myopia Management Solutions
Our caring team offers three excellent treatment options, each thoughtfully selected to suit your child’s unique needs and lifestyle. We’ll work closely with you to find the perfect fit for your family.
Ortho-K Lenses: Overnight Freedom for Active Children
Ortho-k lenses or night lenses work their magic while your child sleeps, gently reshaping the eye’s surface to provide clear vision all day long without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day. Research shows these comfortable night lenses reduce myopia progression by up to 50% compared to regular glasses. Perfect for sporty children or those who prefer not wearing daytime eyewear, we’ve successfully fitted children as young as five with these innovative lenses.
Comfortable Daytime Contact Lenses
We’ve chosen the very best contacts for short-sightedness with your child’s comfort and your family’s convenience in mind.
Daily disposable lenses like MiSight and NaturalVue are wonderfully simple—pop them in each morning and throw them away at bedtime. No cleaning, no storage solutions, just fresh, hygienic lenses every day. Mylo contact lenses are monthly disposables that offer excellent comfort and effective myopia control. These premium lenses provide 30 days of clear, comfortable vision and are specially designed for children who have adapted well to contact lens wear.
Smart Myopia Management Glasses
Myopia management glasses combine familiar comfort with cutting-edge technology. We offer two different types of lenses for myopia management, Stellest and MiYOSMART. Each lens uses a unique design that provides clear vision for your little ones, while helping slow down the growth of the eye – which is what causes myopia to progress. With both lenses made from polycarbonate, they’re an excellent option for kids who love to play, without the worry of them getting broken.
