Myopia is an eye condition that causes blurry long-distance vision, often called "short-sighted" or "near-sighted". A person with myopia can see clearly up close – when reading a book or looking at a phone – but words and objects look fuzzy on a blackboard, on television or when driving. But a pair of glasses aren't the whole story.

Every child's eyes are different. At Anstice Optometrists, we offer a range of evidence-based myopia control treatments and will recommend the option—or combination of options—that best suits your child's age, prescription, lifestyle, and rate of progression.

1. Myopia Controlling Glasses Lenses
   Specially designed glasses lenses that help slow the progression of childhood myopia while providing clear vision for everyday activities. They are comfortable to wear, easy to adapt to, and suitable for children of all ages.
2. Myopia Controlling Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
   Daily disposable contact lenses that provide clear vision while helping to slow the progression of myopia. A fresh pair is worn each day, making them a convenient and hygienic option for active children.
3. Ortho-K (Overnight) Contact Lenses
   Custom-designed contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep. They provide clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses, while also helping to slow myopia progression.
4. Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops
   Prescription eye drops used once each evening to help slow the progression of childhood myopia. Low-dose atropine is often used alongside other myopia management strategies and is carefully monitored by your optometrist.
