Myopia Management
Helping Slow the Progression of Short-Sightedness in Children
At Cacoullis Opticians, we offer dedicated myopia management solutions to help slow down the progression of short-sightedness (myopia) in children and young people. With myopia on the rise globally and increasing risks to long-term eye health, early intervention is more important than ever.
What is Myopia?
Myopia is a common condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. It often develops during childhood and can worsen over time as the eye continues to grow.
Higher levels of myopia are linked to an increased risk of future eye conditions, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
How We Can Help
We provide clinically approved myopia control treatments tailored to your child’s needs, including:
- Specialist Myopia Control Contact Lenses (e.g. MiSight®)
- Spectacle Lenses Designed to Slow Myopia Progression (e.g. Hoya MiyoSmart or Essilor Stellest)
- Regular Monitoring & Eye Health Checks
Our optometrists will guide you through the options, monitor your child’s eye health closely, and provide personalised recommendations based on the latest research and clinical evidence.
Why Start Early?
The earlier myopia is detected and managed, the more we can do to protect your child’s future vision. Our goal is to help preserve their long-term eye health, reduce their risk of high myopia, and support their learning, development, and confidence.
