Myopia management
Growing eyes.
Thoughtful care
Explore options for managing your child’s short-sightedness, with clear explanations and a plan suited to them.
What is myopia?
Myopia, or short-sightedness, makes distant objects look blurred. A child may need glasses to see the classroom board or other things further away.
Myopia management aims to slow its progression as children grow. It does not cure myopia, and the response varies between children. We’ll discuss the likely benefits, limitations, costs and follow-up before you decide.
Two options. One personal approach.
Our optometrists can help you compare contact lenses and spectacle lenses for your child.
Stellest spectacle lenses
Specialist spectacle lenses designed to correct short-sightedness and help slow myopia progression. We’ll explain the recommended wear and follow-up.

Talk through the choice

Questions parents ask.
A little guidance from Ovi.A few useful things to know before your visit.
Does every child need myopia management?
An assessment helps us decide whether myopia management is appropriate and which options to discuss. We’ll explain the choices so you can make an informed decision.
Glasses or contact lenses?
Both may be options, depending on your child’s eyes and circumstances. We’ll consider their age, prescription, lifestyle and ability to manage contact lenses safely.
What does it cost?
Costs depend on the recommended lenses and care plan. We’ll explain them before you proceed. See our appointment fees or call us for details.
