Our Services for Children
MIYOSMART Lenses
We are proud to offer MIYOSMART lenses, a revolutionary solution for managing myopia (short-sightedness) in children. These lenses are designed to slow the progression of myopia while providing clear, comfortable vision for daily activities.
Benefits of MIYOSMART Lenses:
- Slows the progression of short-sightedness.
- Reduces the risk of long-term eye health issues such as retinal detachment or glaucoma.
- Non-invasive and easy to adapt to.
Myopia Control Treatments
Our specialists provide tailored myopia control treatments that help manage and prevent worsening vision in children. These treatments include:
- Specialised contact lenses: Including orthokeratology (overnight lenses) and multifocal contact lenses.
- Lifestyle advice: Guidance on managing screen time and encouraging outdoor activities to support healthy eye development.
Comprehensive Eye Tests for Children
Regular eye examinations are essential for detecting early signs of vision problems. Our child-friendly eye tests are designed to be engaging and thorough, ensuring your little one feels at ease throughout the process.
Tips for Parents: Protecting Your Child’s Vision
Spotting Vision Problems
As a parent, it’s crucial to recognise the signs of potential eye problems early. Look out for:
- Frequent squinting or rubbing of the eyes.
- Sitting too close to the TV or holding books very close to their face.
- Complaints of blurry vision, headaches, or eye strain.
- Difficulty concentrating or poor performance in school.
Encourage Healthy Eye Habits
- Limit screen time: Ensure regular breaks with the 20-20-20 rule – every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
- Outdoor activities: Encourage at least 2 hours of outdoor play daily to reduce the risk of myopia progression.
- A balanced diet: Provide foods rich in Vitamin A (carrots, spinach) and Omega-3 (fish, walnuts) for eye health.
