What is Myopia Management?
Myopia management is an innovative and comprehensive treatment programme aimed at effectively slowing down the progression of Myopia, which is often referred to as short-sightedness, in children. This carefully designed approach employs a variety of tailored treatments that are specifically selected to meet the unique needs of your child, ensuring that their vision is supported and nurtured as they grow.
All our myopia management children have their eye length (Biometry) measured at each 6 month visit. Biometry is the gold standard to precisely measure how their eyes are growing. Very similar to children’s height measurement percentile charts which show measurements compared to normal data.
