Myopia Control Clinic Near Clovelly

Stronger glasses aren’t the complete answer to worsening childhood short-sightedness. For Clovelly parents concerned about their child’s increasing prescription, Beyond Eyecare offers myopia management at our East Village Shopping Centre practice in Zetland, with treatment options that may help slow its progression.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a particular clinical interest in childhood myopia. David and our team assess your child’s vision, examine their eye health and measure axial length to monitor eye growth. We also consider family history and lifestyle factors that may influence progression.

Regular reviews allow us to track changes, assess treatment effectiveness and adjust your child’s myopia management plan as needed.

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.

Clovelly has a coastal charm that sets it apart from Sydney’s busier beachside suburbs. Its sheltered bay, ocean swimming areas and relaxed village atmosphere make it a popular choice for families. From snorkelling at Clovelly Beach and exploring the rock pools to weekend outings at Burrows Park and walks around nearby Gordons Bay, children have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Beyond Eyecare supports Clovelly families concerned about childhood short-sightedness from our East Village Shopping Centre practice in Zetland. Our optometrists provide myopia management, including regular eye examinations and measurements of eye growth, helping parents make informed decisions about managing their children’s progressive myopia.
