Myopia Control Clinic Near Mascot

Has your child started squinting to see distant objects or struggling to read the board at school? For Mascot families, these could be signs of developing short-sightedness. Beyond Eyecare provides childhood myopia management at our East Village Shopping Centre practice in nearby Zetland.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a particular interest in managing childhood myopia. David and our team examine your child’s vision, consider family history and lifestyle factors, and measure axial length to assess how their eyes are growing.

Through regular reviews, we can identify changes in prescription and eye growth, monitor the effectiveness of myopia management and recommend adjustments when 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.

Mascot has evolved into a thriving residential neighbourhood, with modern apartment developments around Mascot Station complementing its older streets and established homes. The cafés and shops along Botany Road, nearby L’Estrange Park and convenient transport connections contribute to a busy community where young families, professionals and long-term residents live side by side.

Beyond Eyecare welcomes Mascot families to our East Village Shopping Centre practice in Zetland for childhood myopia management. Our optometrists provide comprehensive eye assessments, monitor changes in prescription and eye growth, and help parents manage their children’s progressive short-sightedness.
