Myopia control for children — frequently asked questions

What is myopia control?

Myopia control refers to methods that aim to slow how quickly a child's short-sightedness gets worse, rather than just correcting it. Your eye-care professional will explain which approaches may suit your child.

At what age should my child have their eyes checked?

It's worth having a child's eyes checked if you notice any signs of vision difficulty, and as part of routine care. Earlier attention gives more options, so ask us if you have any concerns.

Does myopia control cure short-sightedness?

No. The aim is to slow progression, not to reverse or cure myopia. Your child will still need vision correction, but the goal is to limit how much their prescription increases over time.
