Did you know that over 40% of Australian children have not had an eye test by the age of 9?
And the use of screens and technology in our modern lifestyle has resulted in more children needing glasses than ever before!

If your child has not had an eye test, it is fully covered by Medicare at Modern Eyecare.

With Myopia Awareness around the corner, we would like to support ways to help manage this common condition.

What is myopia?
Myopia, or short-sightedness, causes objects in the distance to be blurry, with short or near vision remaining clear.

How can I stop my child getting myopia?
Whilst there is no guaranteed way to prevent myopia, there are 3 simple things you can do to help.

1. Screens Down, Eyes Up! Reduce the amount of leisure time on digital screens and/or look at objects in the distance.

2. Spend time outdoors. Spending 2 hours outdoors a day is recommended to prevent myopia.

3. Have regular eye tests. Have your child checked with an optometrist at least once every 2 years.

Orthokeratology is a great idea for kids that don't enjoy wearing glasses. Specially designed contact lenses reshape the eye overnight so the child is able to see during the day without glasses or contact lenses!
Come in and see our friendly optometrists Clifton and Tien to find out if orthokeratology is suitable.

DON'T JUST CORRECT MYOPIA - CONTROL IT

Stellest lenses are Essilor’s game-changing innovation to slow down myopia progression in children.
Essilor Stellest lenses slow down myopia progression by 67% on average, compared to single vision lenses.

We have been using Stellest lenses at Modern Eyecare for many of our patients and have found they are easy for children to get used to and extremely effective.

ORTHOKERATOLOGY at Modern Eyecare
Reshape your eyes while you sleep so you don't have to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day!

Orthokeratology can help prevent myopia, also know as shortsightedness, from becoming worse.

A special custom-made contact lens is worn at night time to temporarily reshape the eye. When the lens is removed in the morning, you have clear vision without the need for glasses.

Ask us at Modern Eyecare whether Orthokeratology is suitable for you.

At Modern Eyecare we are passionate about managing shortsightedness in children. We have been prescribing myopia lenses which slow down the increase of shortsightedness. For children that prefer other options, we have soft contact lenses and contact lenses that reshape the eye overnight (orthokeratology), as well as eye drops.
