Myopia Management
Myopia Management is a way to slow the progression of a child’s short-sightedness using specialist contact lenses or spectacle lenses.
With the increasing prevalence of myopia around the world, particularly among children, it is crucial to manage and slow its progression to protect long-term vision health.
​
At P&A Eyecare we have many years experience in this revolutionary treatment and have seen some impressive results. Current evidence suggests that using special contact lenses or glasses may reduce the progression of myopia by up to 60%.
Treatment Options
At P&A Eyecare we currently offer two different treatment options for the management of myopia, either soft daily disposable contact lenses (MiSight) worn during the day or a specialist spectacle lens (MyoCare) for those who do not wish to go down the contact lens route.
​
​MiSight 1 day daily disposable lenses are one of the ways to control myopia. This soft contact lens is suitable for children and we take a pro-active approach to help provide a successful fitting and once fitted the lenses have to be worn regularly.
​
​Zeiss MyoCare lenses are highly effective lenses developed by Zeiss with the principal aim of slowing myopia progression.
