Treatment Options for Myopia

Children who have rapidly progressing myopia can now be treated with a variety of treatment options. Dr Queenie Chau (optometrist) will assess your child’s vision, focusing, eye health and discuss the child’s behaviours and habits to work together with you to decide on the best treatment option to start. 

Because different treatments will vary in its effectiveness for different patients so monitoring closely is important to optimise the treatment outcome.

• Orthokeratology: the use of hard contact lenses worn at night to reshape the cornea (the front of the eye) to provide clear vision and myopia control benefits. 

• Misight 1-Day soft contact lenses: these are FDA approved daily disposable soft contact lenses that have been specifically designed to reduce myopia progression. 

• Miyosmart Lenses - accredited to prescribe ‘Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments’ (D.I.M.S.) Technology spectacle lenses. These have equal effectiveness to leading treatment options as orthokeratology and MiSight

• Low Dose Atropine Drops - special compounded eye drops that are instilled once at night. Glasses or contact lenses are still worn during the day.
