Myopia develops when the eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurred. It often progresses during childhood and can increase quickly. Children who struggle to see the board, sit close to screens or complain of headaches may benefit from an assessment.
Myopia management does not cure short-sightedness, but it can slow its progression. This is achieved through specially designed spectacle lenses or contact lenses that gently alter how light focuses in the eye.
Each treatment plan is tailored to your child’s age, prescription and how quickly their vision is changing.
Stellest lenses by Essilor are an advanced option for managing childhood myopia. They use a constellation of focal points to help slow eye growth while giving clear, comfortable vision for everyday wear. They look just like ordinary spectacles — with smart technology built in.
At S Walton Eyecare, we offer a range of modern, evidence-based treatments designed to slow the progression of myopia. Every child is different, and we tailor each plan to suit their age, lifestyle and visual needs.
Specially Designed Spectacles
Advanced spectacle lenses, such as Stellest lenses by Essilor, are developed to slow the progression of short-sightedness. They provide clear, comfortable vision for everyday wear while supporting healthy eye development. These look just like ordinary glasses but include technology designed specifically for myopia management.
Myopia Control Contact Lenses
Soft contact lenses designed for myopia control offer excellent clarity and freedom from glasses. They are ideal for active children or those who prefer a wider field of vision. Our optometrists assess suitability carefully and teach safe, confident lens handling.
Lifestyle & Visual Habits
Daily habits such as increasing outdoor time, taking regular visual breaks and managing screen use can support healthier eye development. We provide practical, personalised guidance based on your child’s needs.
Monitoring & Ongoing Care
Myopia management is a continuous programme rather than a single treatment. Regular review appointments allow us to monitor how your child’s eyes are developing and adjust their care plan when needed. This long-term approach ensures they receive the right support as they grow.
You can book online through MySight for routine eye exams and glasses appointments, or contact us directly for home visits or specialised services.
