Childhood myopia is on the rise. By 2050, it is predicted 50% of the worlds population will be shortsighted! Our optometrists at Eyecare Kids believe that early detection and intervention is the key to reducing the impact myopia can have on long-term visual health. By delaying or slowing the progression of myopia in children, we can reduce their risk of serious eye diseases in the future, such as glaucoma, cataracts and retinal detachments.
Our optometrists are highly experienced in managing childrens vision and myopia management. Our practices are equipped with state of the art clinical equipment that aim to address and manage the progression of myopia.
Standard Eye Tests will NOT always pick up problems in kids. Vision is a fundamental sense for children, especially at school, playing a major role in the development of vital tasks such as reading, writing, and visual skills. Issues that can impede these developments often go undetected and have long term consequences for children, beyond vision, as they often don’t show symptoms at a young age.
At Eyecare Kids, our team of Optometrists are highly qualified, experienced and trained in children’s vision. We conduct Comprehensive Eye Tests and practise Behavioural Optometry for children where we extend the basic eye test. We also assess the relationship between your child’s vision and ability to effectively learn, develop core competencies and correctly identify issues that could impede these abilities and detect eye conditions early.
