Did you know that children who use screens for more than three hours a day are almost four times more likely to be myopic (short-sighted) compared to those who spend just one hour on screens?
As our kids spend more time on tablets, phones, and computers, their eyes are paying the price. But as a parent, you don't have to just sit back and watch your child's prescription get stronger every year.
At Riaan King Optometrists, we specialize in Myopia Control. Our preferred method? Orthokeratology (Ortho-K).
Ortho-K is a specialized, gentle contact lens worn only at night. It safely reshapes the eye while your child sleeps, allowing them to wake up, remove the lens, and enjoy perfectly clear vision all day long. No glasses or daytime contacts needed! It gives kids the freedom to play sports and swim without worry, while actively slowing down the worsening of their eyesight.
With 23 years of experience and a success rate of over 90% in slowing down myopia deterioration, Riaan King is your trusted partner in protecting your child's visual future.
