Myopia Control
Contact UsMyopia Control
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is becoming more common across all age groups—especially in children. At Lumiere Eyecare, we offer personalised myopia control solutions to help slow its progression and protect long-term eye health. This includes tracking your prescription and length of your eye (axial length).
As myopia increases, so does the lifetime risk of serious eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration. Studies suggest that even small changes in myopia can make a big difference: reducing myopia by 1 dioptre may lower the risk of vision loss by up to 40%.
That’s why early intervention and regular monitoring are key.
Why Myopia Control Matters
Living with myopia can affect your quality of life and may lead to:
Higher risk of eye disease later in life
Difficulty with daily tasks, such as driving or playing sport
Frequent prescription updates, which can be inconvenient and costly
Our Myopia Control Options
We offer a range of evidence-informed treatments, customised to suit each patient’s age, lifestyle, and vision needs:
Atropine Eye Drops – Low-dose atropine can help slow myopia progression in children
Myopia Control Glasses – Special lenses designed to reduce eye strain and slow myopia development (e.g. Miyosmart, Stellest)
Soft Contact Lenses for Myopia Control – Designed to target specific areas of the eye to help manage progression (e.g. Misight)
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) – Overnight lenses that reshape the cornea to provide clear vision during the day and reduce myopia progression
Vision Therapy & Functional Support – We may include activities to reduce visual stress and support healthy visual development
Education on Healthy Vision Habits – We encourage more time outdoors, limiting screen use, taking breaks from near work, and maintaining proper reading distances
Ongoing Care and Monitoring
Successful management of myopia involves regular check-ups. We carefully track changes in your prescription and axial eye length over time to assess how well your treatment is working. If needed, we adjust your care plan to make sure it continues to meet your needs.
