Myopia Control Clinic Near South Coogee

Has your child needed stronger glasses at successive eye examinations? For South Coogee families, increasing short-sightedness can raise concerns about their long-term vision. Beyond Eyecare provides childhood myopia management at East Village Shopping Centre in Zetland, offering options to help slow its progression.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a particular interest in childhood myopia. Our team examines your child’s vision and eye health, measures axial length to track eye growth and considers factors such as family history and outdoor activity.

Follow-up appointments help us monitor prescription changes, evaluate treatment progress and adjust your child’s myopia management plan when 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.
