Myopia Management for Children

Myopia Management for Children


Children’s eye health is a growing concern, especially in Singapore, where myopia rates are among the highest in the world. Many children experience vision issues that can affect their learning, confidence, and overall well-being. One of the most common conditions is myopia (short-sightedness), which can worsen over time if left unmanaged.


At Eyesight.sg in Singapore, we are committed to providing specialised myopia management solutions to help children see clearly and protect their long-term eye health.


Common Paediatric Eye Issues


Children may experience various eye conditions, with myopia being particularly prevalent in Singapore. Other common issues include:

  • Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to an irregularly shaped cornea.
  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Reduced vision in one eye caused by abnormal visual development.
  • Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Misalignment of the eyes, leading to coordination problems.


Children are often unable to articulate their vision issues, or they simply don’t know that they even have vision issues to begin with. This is why regular eye exams are vital for maintaining your child’s vision in the long run.


Understanding Myopia


Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear blurred. Studies show that Singapore has one of the highest myopia rates globally, with more than half of children developing the condition by age 12. There are a few risk factors contributing to this such as genetic predisposition and environmental influences such as prolonged near work and limited outdoor activities.


Importance of Myopia Management


Managing myopia is essential to prevent its progression, which can lead to high myopia and increase the risk of serious eye conditions like retinal detachment and glaucoma. Effective myopia management can:

  • Slow Progression: Implementing strategies to reduce the rate at which myopia worsens.
  • Enhance Quality of Life: Improving visual acuity for better performance in daily activities.
  • Reduce Future Eye Health Risks: Minimising the likelihood of developing severe ocular complications.


Our Approach to Myopia Management


At Eyesight.sg, we offer a comprehensive myopia management programme tailored to each child's needs, including:

  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Specialised contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
  • MiSight 1 Day Contact Lenses: Daily disposable lenses clinically proven to slow myopia progression in children aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.
  • MiyoSmart Optical Lenses: Spectacle lenses designed with innovative technology to control myopia progression effectively.
  • Lifestyle Counselling: Guidance on incorporating more outdoor activities and managing near-work tasks to reduce myopia risk factors.


Our experienced optometrists utilise advanced diagnostic tools to monitor myopia progression and adjust treatment plans accordingly, ensuring optimal outcomes for your child's vision.
