Myopia Management Programme
We now have 3 proven ways to slow down eye growth & myopia. Our myopia management plan is a dedicated monitoring and treatment plan for each child using the very latest technologies to measure eye growth.
Myopia explained
Utilising groundbreaking lens technology, MiYOSMART lenses are the latest technological breakthrough in myopia management. Research over 2 years shows these lenses slow eye growth and myopia by around 60% for children who start treatment at an average age of 104.
The first FDA approved 1 day disposable contact lens for myopia management. 3 yr results show a 52% reduction in eye growth when treatment was started at the age of 105. Extensively researched, the latest 6 year results show that 23% of wearers’ prescriptions had not increased at all.
Sleep in specially designed lenses that gently reshape of the eye overnight resulting in clear vision during the day without spectacles or contact lenses. A large body of evidence shows that Ortho-K typically reduces eye growth by approximately 50% over a 2-year study period6.
