SLOWING MYOPIA PROGRESSION
At Eyecare Concepts, we take a proactive approach in controlling childhood myopia, offering treatments that slow the rate of myopia progression in short-sighted children and teenagers.
The Myopia Clinic Difference
Our treatment program represents a new approach to managing short-sightedness (myopia), combining effective, targeted therapies with lifestyle management.
​
​In the past, and is still the case at the majority of optometrists, correction of poor vision with glasses or contact lenses is the main focus of myopia treatment. While this address the immediate problem, it does not actively address slowing the rate of eyesight deterioration in these children, meaning their myopia will likely worsen. With their increasing level of short-sightedness and growth of their eyeball, the risk to the child's long-term eye health increases each year.
At the Myopia Clinic, we apply the latest scientific research in myopia control to help stabilise your child's eyesight, not only correcting their vision but also slowing progression over time.
​
Effective and safe treatment options are now available to slow short-sightedness progression by 30-75% (average reduction of 50%) in suitable children. This significantly reduces your child's risk of developing high degrees of short-sightedness and the associated risks of serious eye diseases and potential vision loss later in adulthood.
