At Myopia Management Clinic, we believe that personalising your Myopia care plan is essential for better eye health. Myopia, especially in children, is a progressive condition that requires more than just a simple pair of glasses and an annual review. Our goal is to provide effective myopia control treatments that can slow or even stop the progression of Myopia, helping to prevent the worsening of your vision and minimise secondary myopic complications.
We offer a full range of evidence-based myopia control treatments for childhood Myopia, including comprehensive baseline eye examinations, Myopia Red Light Therapy, myopia control contact lenses, Orthokeratology (night time) myopia contact lenses, and Myopia control spectacles, all aimed at enhancing eye health services.
We utilise the latest technology and equipment in our eye exams to ensure our patients, including those at risk for childhood Myopia, receive the most accurate and efficient eye exams possible. Our advanced diagnostic tools enable us to detect and diagnose eye conditions early, allowing for effective myopia control treatments when they are most treatable.
Myopia Management Melbourne was founded by Conor Davis, a therapeutically endorsed optometrist with nearly two decades of clinical experience across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Recognising the rapid rise of childhood Myopia, particularly in young patients, Conor established the clinic to provide evidence-based care focused on slowing myopia progression and protecting long-term eye health. He is known for his patient-centred approach and commitment to helping families manage myopia using the latest myopia control treatments.
Progressive myopia often begins in childhood, which is why our clinic primarily focuses on providing eye health services for school-aged children. However, some patients with myopia can continue to experience progression into their mid-20s. If you are over 18 and are looking to explore myopia control treatments to slow the progression of your increasing myopia, simply get in touch with us to discuss your options.
Repeated low-level red light (RLRL) therapy is the latest evidence-based therapy for myopia control treatments, especially beneficial for childhood Myopia. This innovative approach utilises the therapeutic properties of red light to limit myopic progression and eye growth. It's a convenient and non-invasive treatment that can be performed in the comfort of your own home.
These glasses utilize the latest advanced technology specifically designed to ensure clear vision while also supporting eye health by reducing children myopia progression.
Specialised myopia-control soft contact lenses for daily wear are designed to slow myopic progression, making them ideal for very active children and teenagers.
Custom-designed, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses are worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, by providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. This is an effective method for myopia control particularly beneficial for children myopia and active adults.
Atropine eye drops are a pharmacological treatment used to help reduce the progression of children myopia. These drops are applied to children's eyes before bed as part of myopia control.
Our comprehensive eye health services include eye exams that assess visual acuity, color vision, and eye muscle function, among other tests. We also provide retinal imaging to detect any underlying eye diseases, which is especially important for monitoring conditions like childhood Myopia. Primarily, we offer myopia control treatments to help manage and reduce the progression of myopia in young patients.
Myopia (short-sightedness) is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while near objects remain clear. This condition, particularly prevalent in children, occurs when the eye grows too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina. Eye health services often emphasize the importance of early detection and myopia control treatments to manage this issue effectively.
Rates of myopia, particularly among children, have increased worldwide due to a combination of genetics, increased screen time, and reduced time outdoors. This trend highlights the importance of eye health services and the need for effective myopia control treatments.
The progression of children myopia can significantly increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including: retinal detachment, glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, and cataracts. To mitigate these risks, it's essential to seek eye health services and consider myopia control treatments.
Myopia management refers to evidence-based treatments, known as myopia control treatments, designed to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children and young adults. These treatments do not cure Myopia but can significantly reduce how quickly it worsens.
Common myopia control treatments for children myopia include: specialized myopia control spectacle lenses, soft myopia control contact lenses, orthokeratology (overnight vision-shaping lenses), low-dose atropine eye drops, and repeated low-level red-light therapy.
We will recommend the most suitable myopia control treatments for you or your child based on age, prescription, eye health, and lifestyle, ensuring that all our options meet your needs.
Clinical studies show that many myopia control treatments can significantly slow the progression of children myopia by 40–70% on average, depending on the specific treatment and patient compliance, highlighting the importance of tailored care.
Myopia management is most effective for childhood Myopia when started as early as possible after detection, typically between the ages of 6 and 12 years old, using various myopia control treatments.
