Myopia Control Clinic Near Kingsford

Is your child’s prescription getting stronger with each eye examination? For Kingsford parents concerned about progressive short-sightedness, Beyond Eyecare offers childhood myopia management at our East Village Shopping Centre practice in Zetland.

With a particular clinical interest in myopia management, Principal Optometrist David Truong works with families to understand the factors influencing their child’s vision. Our assessments include detailed eye health checks, prescription testing and axial length measurements to evaluate eye growth.

Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor changes in your child’s eyesight, assess how their myopia is progressing and adjust their management plan where appropriate.

Reduce Long-Term Eye Health Risks

The risks of retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic macular degeneration increase as myopia becomes more severe.

Myopia management aims to slow excessive eye growth during childhood and reduce the level of short-sightedness your child ultimately develops in adulthood.

Fewer Prescription Upgrades

Progressive myopia can lead to increasingly stronger glasses or contact lens prescriptions throughout childhood.

Myopia control cannot correct the myopia your child already has, but it can slow further progression and reduce the rate of prescription change.

Flexible Myopia Control Options

We can choose from several established methods to manage childhood myopia.

These include myopia control glasses, specialised soft contact lenses, Ortho-K and low-dose atropine. We’ll recommend an approach based on your child’s individual needs and consider combined treatments where appropriate.

Early Treatment For Best Results

Children can experience significant myopia progression while their eyes are still growing.

When we identify myopia early, we have more opportunity to control further progression. Regular reviews help us track eye growth and change your child’s treatment when their results indicate we should.
