Lens technology is reshaping how we see, offering exciting new ways to improve vision beyond just correcting children’s eyesight. Let’s explore how myopia management lenses differ from standard single-vision lenses and why they might be the game-changer your child needs.

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition that affects millions of people worldwide. If you're concerned about myopia or want to better understand this condition, one crucial aspect to consider is the measurement of axial length. In this blog, we'll break down why measuring axial length is vital in managing myopia and maintaining healthy eyes.

There are many common reasons why a child may need eye drops - perhaps an infection, allergies or dry eyes. In myopia management, one treatment strategy to slow down nearsightedness progression is using prescription eye drops (called Atropine) that the child uses daily. Here’s how to destress the experience!

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, is a method used to temporarily alter the corneal surface during sleep, in order to correct the eye’s prescription. This is done through the overnight wear of specialty contact lenses. Ortho-K will in turn improve your daytime vision and reduce your need for glasses or conventional soft contact lenses throughout the day. Simply put, when you wake up, you can SEE!

During a regular routine eye examination, your child will have their vision tested in traditional methods including measuring the visual acuity (reading the letters on the eye chart), checking the prescription, testing binocular vision (how well the eyes work together) and assessing ocular health.
