Myopia Clinic
Myopia (short‑sightedness) can worsen as children grow. A dedicated myopia assessment helps us understand progression risk and discuss suitable management options.
We can discuss options such as Stellest spectacle lenses and MiSight 1 day contact lenses, and help you decide what is appropriate for your child.
Management plans focus on long‑term eye health, balancing vision correction with options that aim to slow progression.
Stellest lenses
Stellest lenses are spectacle lenses designed for myopic children. We can explain whether they are suitable based on your child’s assessment.
