MYOPIA MANAGEMENT

PREVENTING CHILDREN'S EYES FROM GETTING WORSE
Myopia control. The proactive approach of helping kids and teenagers avoid rapid eyesight deterioration associated with progressive myopia — commonly called 'short-sightedness' or 'near-sightedness'. Myopia is a multifactorial eye condition caused by abnormal elongation of the eyeball, typically in childhood and adolescence. Both genetics and the environment, such as time indoors, reading and screen time, play a role in myopia development.

​The stretching of the eye in myopia is what causes distance vision to become increasingly blurred, requiring stronger prescriptions to see clearly. These irreversible structural changes are linked to higher risks of developing serious eye diseases and vision impairment in adulthood. Myopia-related eye diseases include glaucoma, cataract, retinal detachment and myopic maculopathy.

​Regular glasses can only correct the symptoms of myopia, not the cause. Through advances in medical science and research, we now have interventions to treat the cause and help slow or even halt the abnormal eye growth in myopia. Prevention and early intervention are key to healthy eyes.


Video: What every patient needs to know about childhood myopia (short-sightedness).
SightControl is our individualised treatment program to slow the progression of your child's myopia with a full range of evidence-based treatments — including OrthoK night-time corrective lenses (OK lens), dual-focus daytime soft contact lenses (CooperVision MiSight 1 day), myopia control glasses (Hoya MiyoSmart DIMS spectacle lenses), atropine eye drops, and combination treatment strategies. Based on current scientific evidence, these treatments are safe and can effectively slow the progression of myopia by 50% or more.
Picture
As one of Australia's leading clinics in myopia management, we are equipped with the Zeiss IOLMaster 500 and Oculus Myopia Master for precise monitoring of myopia progression through measuring the eyes' axial length and charting eye elongation.

This biometric method is up to 10 times more sensitive at assessing progression than simply relying on prescription changes, allowing us to accurately detect changes earlier and tailor your child's treatment for the best possible outcome. By tracking a child's eye growth against normative growth curves, we can even predict the imminent onset of myopia before it occurs.
Axial length growth curves best method of monitoring myopia progression
If your child already wears glasses for myopia, or if myopia runs in your family, see us for a comprehensive myopia assessment and expert advice on the best ways to prevent their eyes from worsening. Early detection and proper management of myopia gives your child the best opportunity of maintaining good vision and eye health — for life.

​Myopia is about eye health, not glasses.

WHAT'S NEW

Picture

Dr Philip Cheng had the honour of speaking at a major global educational event for optometrists – Myopia Management: Putting It Into Practice. The World Council of Optometry invited 12 internationally recognised industry leaders in myopia management to share their clinical experience and insights with over 2800 registered attendees from 108 countries. 

Picture

A new study in Hong Kong found homeschooling had a detrimental impact on children's eyesight. Increased screen time from remote learning and spending more time indoors during Melbourne's repeated lockdowns is a cause for a sharp rise in myopia in children over the past 2 years. Our optometrist Dr Philip Cheng spoke to 9 News on the impact of the pandemic on children's eyes.
