Myopia Control Clinic Near Newtown

If your child’s short-sightedness is getting worse, Beyond Eyecare provides myopia management near Newtown from our Surry Hills Village practice.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a particular interest in childhood myopia. David and our team assess your child’s vision, eye health and family history, while axial length measurements help us monitor how their eyes grow.

At regular reviews, we’ll compare these results, track any progression and adjust your child’s myopia management when needed.

Reduce Long-Term Eye Health Risks

Children who develop higher levels of myopia face an increased lifetime risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic macular degeneration.

Myopia management aims to control excessive eye growth and reduce how short-sighted your child eventually becomes.

Fewer Prescription Upgrades

As a child’s myopia increases, their glasses or contact lens prescription usually needs to become stronger.

Myopia control cannot undo existing short-sightedness, but it can slow further progression and reduce the rate of prescription change.

Flexible Myopia Control Options

Different children may benefit from different approaches to myopia management.

We may recommend myopia control glasses, specialised soft contact lenses, Ortho-K or low-dose atropine according to your child’s individual needs. In some cases, we’ll consider using more than one approach.

Early Treatment For Best Results

Myopia often progresses during the years when a child’s eyes are growing most rapidly.

Early myopia management gives us more opportunity to control that progression. We’ll check your child’s eye growth regularly and modify their treatment if their results show further changes.
