Myopia Control Clinic In Zetland

If you’re concerned about your child’s short-sightedness, Beyond Eyecare provides myopia management at our Zetland practice in East Village Shopping Centre.

Principal Optometrist David Truong has a particular interest in childhood myopia. David and our team assess your child’s eyesight and eye health, review relevant risk factors and measure axial length to monitor how their eyes grow.

We’ll compare these measurements at regular reviews to track progression and make changes to your child’s myopia management when necessary.

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.

Zetland has changed considerably in recent years, with new apartments and residential developments surrounding established local streets. East Village Shopping Centre, Joynton Park and nearby Green Square are now familiar parts of everyday life in the area.

Young professionals, couples and growing families make up much of the local community. Our practice inside East Village gives Zetland families convenient access to myopia care close to home.
