Myopia, or short sightedness, is the condition where your child starts to struggle to see clearly in the distance.  This can make it harder to see the board and concentrate at school. This also makes it difficult for children to have a fulfilling experience at play time. Myopia is where the eyeball axial length starts to grow unproportionately. This typically affects children around 8-12y of age.

If left untreated, it can lead to lasting vision problems.

Studies show that HIGH MYOPIA may lead to severe vision impairment that can no longer be corrected through standard lenses. It can even increase the risk of other ocular complications later in life.

By 2050 half of the global population could be affected by short sightedness. 

Research shows that more time spent on near work activities is linked with greater risk of myopia.

At Eye Connexion, we take our children's eyes seriously and recommend their FIRST ST by the time they are 4-5 years old.  With our PREMO risk indicator technique we are able to do a thorough eye examination PLUS assess your child's risk of being myopic based on age and parental incidence of myopia.

We are PROUD to offer MYOPIA MANAGEMENT tools like MiYOSMART Glasses and MiSight Contact lenses to help slowdown the rate of myopia.  They have been shown to slow down the rate of MYOPIA by more than 60%. We will also be offering guidance on lifestyle and screenwork usage balance.  Our eyecare professionals will closely monitor your child's progress and provide guidance all along the way.
