Myopia Control

Helping You See Further, For Longer

Myopia (short-sightedness) is one of the most common vision conditions we see — and it's on the rise, particularly in children. Left unmanaged, it can progress over time and increase the risk of serious eye problems in later life. The good news? With the right approach, we can slow it down.

What is Myopia?

Myopia happens when the eye grows slightly too long, causing light to focus just in front of the retina instead of directly on it. The result: distant objects look blurry, while close-up vision stays clear. It usually develops during childhood and tends to worsen through the teenage years.

Why Myopia Control Matters

Myopia isn't just about needing stronger glasses every year. High levels of myopia significantly raise the risk of conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts later in life. Intervening early — before myopia has a chance to progress — is one of the best things you can do for your child's long-term eye health.

Our Myopia Control Options

We offer a range of clinically proven strategies, tailored to each patient's needs and lifestyle:

- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)— Specially designed lenses worn overnight that gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, giving clear, glasses-free vision throughout the day. (Ortho-K)

- Myopia control soft daily disposable contact lenses — The contact lenses correct your child's vision while simultaneously slowing the elongation of the eye — the root cause of worsening myopia. The lens features alternating optical zones that work together to deliver clear vision and myopia control in a single daily disposable lens.

Benefits for Your Child

- Daily disposable — fresh, hygienic lenses every day with no cleaning or storage required

- Easy to handle — designed with children in mind, making insertion and removal straightforward.

- Comfortable all day — soft, breathable lenses that children adapt to quickly

- Freedom from glasses — ideal for sport, activities, and building confidence

- Clinically proven — backed by over a decade of research and real-world results

MiYOSMART Spectacle Lenses

For children who prefer glasses over contact lenses, MiYOSMART offers a highly effective and non-invasive way to slow the progression of myopia — no drops, no lenses, just everyday spectacles.

How Do They Work?

MiYOSMART lenses use award-winning D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology. The lens contains hundreds of tiny segments surrounding a central zone of clear vision. These segments create a slight defocus effect across the peripheral retina, which signals the eye to slow its growth — the key driver of myopia progression.

The best part? Your child simply wears them like any other pair of glasses.
