Myopia Control Clinic Near Redfern

If you’re concerned about your child’s increasing short-sightedness, Beyond Eyecare provides myopia management close to Redfern from our Surry Hills Village practice.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a particular interest in childhood myopia. David and our team examine your child’s vision and eye health, consider their family history and measure axial length to track eye growth.

We’ll review these measurements regularly to see how their myopia progresses and make changes to their management plan when required.

Reduce Long-Term Eye Health Risks

As myopia becomes stronger, the lifetime risk of conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic macular degeneration increases.

Myopia management focuses on slowing eye growth during childhood, helping reduce the likelihood of developing high myopia.

Fewer Prescription Upgrades

We have several ways to manage myopia, allowing us to choose an approach that suits your child.

Options include myopia control glasses, specialised soft contact lenses, Ortho-K and low-dose atropine. We can also consider combining approaches when your child’s circumstances warrant it.

Flexible Myopia Control Options

We can choose from several established approaches to managing childhood myopia.

Depending on your child’s eyes and individual needs, we may recommend myopia control glasses, specialised soft contact lenses, Ortho-K or low-dose atropine. We may also combine treatments when appropriate.

Early Treatment For Best Results

Children’s myopia can worsen quickly while their eyes continue to grow.

When we start myopia management early, we have more time to slow its progression. Regular reviews allow us to track eye growth and adapt your child’s treatment as their needs change.
