MYOPIA CONTROL
Managing Myopia
Myopia, often known as Short Sightedness, is dramatically on the rise around the world. In the year 2000 it affected 27% of the population of western Europe, but by 2020 it had risen to 37%!
Unfortunately, Myopia tends to get worse as we grow, and the younger it starts the worse it may get overall!
Recent scientific breakthroughs now allow us to manage, and reduce, the severity of myopia like never before.
Acting early may dramatically reduce the severity of short-sightedness in children and young adults, increase the range of vision-correction options available, and significantly reduce the risk of serious eye problems later in life.

Simple Solutions
Thankfully the solutions for myopia management are very simple and readily available.
Incredible new contact lenses can slow down the progression of short-sightedness in children; such solutions have been proven to reduce the severity of myopia by 50%!
Furthermore, experience tells us that children can adapt to wearing contact lenses very happily if given the chance.
There are also spectacle lenses specifically designed to help counter myopia, so speak to your optometrist today to find out what options could be available to you in a Myopia Management Assessment.
