Myopia Management (Short-Sightedness)

Myopia also known as short-sightedness is a vision condition in which people can see close/near objects clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred.

Risk Factors:

  • Having parents or a family history of myopia.
  • East Asian ethnic origin.
  • Spending limited time outside and being heavily engaged in activities using close-up vision.
  • There is evidence that spending increased time outside can delay the onset of myopia in some children, and may prevent it in others.

We have three methods to reduce the progression of myopia!

  • Eyedream (Orthokeratology) rigid contact lenses
  • Hoya Miyosmart Spectacle Lenses
  • Coopervision MiSight soft Contact Lenses.

How does it work?

Eyedream lenses gently reshape the curvature of the eye whilst you sleep creating a slightly flatter cornea (front of the eye).

The corneal changes are measured by a Topgrapher, which 3D scans the front of your eyes.

The change in cornea curvature overnight is enough to create crystal clear, sharp vision for the day. In addition, it is believed that the refocusing of light on the peripheral retina slows down the progression of myopia in children.

At our practice we have also utilised Eyedream lenses for patients:

  • Who cannot tolerate soft lenses during the daytime
  • Suffer with dry eye

Introducing Hoya MiYOSMART spectacle lenses, which have been developed to slow down the progression of short-sightedness (Myopia). This revolutionary spectacle lens based on patented Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) Technology was developed in cooperation with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2014.

MiYOSMART comes with an easy-to-wipe special anti-reflective, durable coating. With its Eye Shield, young patients get the added assurance of an impact resistant material and UV protection.

MiYOSMART’s Eye Shield

  • Impact resistant
  • Thin and light
  • Comes with UV protection

If your short-sighted prescription changes by more than-0.50 in 12 months from the start of the treatment you will be issued with a new set of lenses to the new prescription at no charge.

"Smart premises, professional staff. A thorough eye examination, and no pressure to buy glasses as my prescription was fairly unchanged."

Martin

"Superb eye examinations, that aren’t rushed and the staff are all very friendly."

Helen

"Excellent service. If you have a problem they will always squeeze you in to see someone. Cannot fault them."

Stephen

"Thank you for taking the time to listen to me. Nowadays no one gives you the time of day! Everything was very well explained and left feeling reassured."

James

“I just wanted to say what a great addition Jeannette is to the team, she is so thorough, friendly and kind. I wasn’t feeling my best today so probably wasn’t as chatty as I usually am but please let her know that she was brilliant. Many thanks, Vicky."

Vicky

I'd like to thank Julie for the eye test and to say that I have written to Miss Sebastian re an operation. I was very pleased with my sight test and Julie handled my deafness with alacrity. Not many people do but one other that did is Hannah who did a brilliant job on my ears.
Thank you both!

John S

From a shock diagnosis of cataracts with referrals for urgent surgery to today when I picked up my new glasses I can’t speak highly enough of the service I have received from you. Staff hit that place where they are professional but also friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend you to anyone for your excellent service and professionalism. Many thanks for your excellent care.
