Protecting Your Child’s Vision for the Future

Short-sightedness (myopia) is becoming increasingly common in children, often worsening as they grow. At Maudsley Opticians, we offer advanced solutions to help slow its progression, including Hoya MiYOSMART lenses, MiSight® contact lenses, and state-of-the-art axial length monitoring with our OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans.

Why Myopia Control Matters

If left unmanaged, myopia can continue to progress, leading to stronger prescriptions and an increased risk of future eye conditions. By intervening early, we can help slow this progression and support lifelong eye health.

How We Monitor Myopia Progression

At Maudsley Opticians, we go beyond standard eye tests by measuring axial length—the length of the eyeball—which is a key indicator of myopia progression. Using our advanced Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology, we can accurately track changes in your child’s eye over time, allowing us to tailor their treatment plan for the best possible results.

The Benefits of Axial Length Monitoring

✔ More Accurate Tracking – Prescription changes alone don’t always tell the full story; axial length gives a clearer picture of myopia progression.
✔ Personalised Treatment Plans – By measuring axial length, we can fine-tune your child’s myopia management for the best long-term outcomes.
✔ Better Long-Term Vision Protection – Slowing axial growth reduces the risk of future eye conditions linked to high myopia, such as retinal detachment and myopic maculopathy.

Our Myopia Management Solutions

We offer leading myopia control options, including:
✔ Hoya MiYOSMART Spectacle Lenses – Clinically proven to slow myopia progression by an average of 60%, using Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S) technology.
✔ MiSight® Contact Lenses – Daily disposable contact lenses shown to slow myopia progression by 59% and axial eye growth by 52% in clinical studies.
✔ Comprehensive Eye Examinations – Including detailed axial length measurements with OCT to track myopia progression accurately and adjust treatment accordingly.

The earlier myopia is managed, the better the long-term benefits. Book an appointment with Maudsley Opticians today to discuss a personalised plan for your child’s vision.
