Myopia Control Clinic In Surry Hills

If your child has myopia, Beyond Eyecare provides myopia management locally at 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 factors such as family history and use axial length measurements to monitor eye growth.

Regular reviews help us track changes over time and determine whether we need to adjust your child’s myopia management plan.

Reduce Long-Term Eye Health Risks

Higher levels of myopia increase the risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic macular degeneration later in life.

Myopia control aims to slow excessive eye growth during childhood and limit the degree of short-sightedness your child develops.

Fewer Prescription Upgrades

Children with progressing myopia typically need stronger glasses or contact lens prescriptions as they grow.

Myopia management cannot reverse existing myopia, but it can reduce the rate of progression and help limit future prescription increases.

Flexible Myopia Control Options

We tailor myopia management to your child rather than relying on one treatment for everyone.

Depending on their individual needs, we may recommend myopia control glasses, specialised soft contact lenses, Ortho-K or low-dose atropine. We’ll consider a combination of treatments when appropriate.

Early Treatment For Best Results

Myopia can progress quickly during childhood while the eyes continue to develop.

If we identify myopia early, we have more time to manage its progression. We’ll monitor your child’s eye growth at regular reviews and adjust their treatment when the results indicate a change.
