Myopia is also known more commonly as short sightedness meaning objects further away are blurry. It’s something that can run in families so regular eye examinations from an early age are the best way to pick up upon myopia.
We can provide glasses, contacts lenses to be worn during the day and orthokeratology where contact lenses are worn over night to temporarily reshape the cornea to give clear vision throughout the day.
Advanced spectacle lenses such as Essilor’s Stellest, use technology to slow down the progression of myopia in children’s vision. These lenses use a constellation of lenslets to create a volume of signal into the eye, to control the eye growth.
