Myopia Management

Protecting their vision. Shaping their future.

Childhood myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common, with more children developing myopia at younger ages than ever before. As the eye continues to grow, myopia often progresses, increasing the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts and myopic macular degeneration.

At Andrew & Rogers, we believe that managing myopia is about far more than reducing the strength of a prescription. It is about protecting long-term eye health, supporting confidence and giving children the best possible visual future.

Our Tailored Vision approach combines advanced clinical assessment, evidence-based treatment options and ongoing monitoring to create a personalised myopia management plan for every child.

What is Myopia?

Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurred while close-up vision remains clear. It develops when the eye grows longer than normal, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it.

While glasses can correct blurred vision, they do not stop the eye from continuing to grow.

Myopia management aims to slow this progression, helping to reduce the likelihood of developing higher levels of myopia and the associated risks to lifelong eye health.

Why Early Intervention Matters

Research has shown that slowing the progression of myopia during childhood can significantly reduce the risk of future eye disease.

The earlier treatment begins, the greater the opportunity to protect your child's vision.

Benefits of myopia management include:

  • Slowing the progression of short-sightedness

  • Reducing the risk of future eye disease

  • Clear, comfortable vision for learning and everyday life

  • Personalised treatment as your child's eyes develop

  • Regular monitoring using advanced technology

Our Tailored Approach

Every child is unique.

Before recommending any treatment, we take time to understand:

  • Your child's prescription history

  • Family history of myopia

  • Lifestyle and hobbies

  • Time spent outdoors

  • Screen use and reading habits

  • Eye health and visual development

Using advanced diagnostic technology, we create a personalised management plan designed specifically for your child.

Our Myopia Management Solutions

MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses

MiSight® 1 day contact lenses are the world's first soft contact lens specifically developed to slow the progression of childhood myopia.

Comfortable, convenient and easy to wear, MiSight lenses provide clear vision while simultaneously helping to reduce the elongation of the eye responsible for increasing myopia.

Suitable for many children from an early age, they offer an excellent option for active lifestyles.

Myopia Control Spectacle Lenses

For children who prefer spectacles, specialist myopia control lenses provide an effective alternative.

Unlike conventional glasses, these advanced lenses are specifically designed to correct vision while helping to slow the progression of myopia through innovative optical designs.

They provide excellent vision for school, hobbies and everyday life whilst supporting long-term eye health.

Lifestyle & Environmental Advice

Successful myopia management extends beyond lenses alone.

We work closely with families to provide practical advice on:

  • Increasing time spent outdoors

  • Healthy visual habits

  • Managing prolonged near work

  • Screen use

  • Reading distance and posture

Small lifestyle changes can play an important role alongside clinical treatment.

Ongoing Care

Managing myopia is an ongoing partnership.

Regular reviews allow us to monitor your child's eye growth, assess treatment effectiveness and adjust their management plan as they develop.

Our aim is not simply to provide clear vision today, but to protect healthy vision for many years to come.

Our approach combines advanced clinical technology with genuinely personalised care.

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every recommendation is carefully tailored to your child's individual needs, lifestyle and stage of development.

This is Tailored Vision—a philosophy that places your child's long-term eye health at the centre of every decision we make.
