Myopia Management in Warwick

At Chase Meadow Opticians, we provide structured myopia management for children and young people.

Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common, particularly in children. While standard glasses can correct vision, they do not address the underlying progression of the condition.

Our approach focuses on both clear vision today and reducing long-term progression where possible.

Myopia is a condition where distance vision is blurred, often requiring glasses to see clearly.

In children, myopia can continue to progress as the eye grows. Over time, higher levels of myopia can increase the risk of future eye health problems.

Research shows that specialised optical treatments can help slow this progression by altering how light is focused within the eye. 

Standard glasses correct vision, but they do not influence how the eye develops.

Myopia management aims to:

• slow the progression of short-sightedness 
• reduce the need for frequent prescription changes 
• support long-term eye health 

While results vary for each individual, early intervention can make a meaningful difference over time.

We take a structured and personalised approach.

This includes:

• detailed eye examination and prescription analysis 
• discussion of your child’s lifestyle and visual habits 
• ongoing monitoring over time 
• tailored recommendations based on clinical findings 

Our aim is to provide clear guidance so you can make informed decisions about your child’s vision.

 We offer a range of options depending on suitability.

These lenses are designed not only to correct vision but also to influence how light is focused across the retina, helping to reduce the signals that drive eye growth.

We also offer contact lens options specifically designed for myopia management.

These may include:

• Soft daily disposable lenses designed to slow progression 
• Multifocal contact lenses for controlled focus 
• Orthokeratology (overnight lenses) that gently reshape the eye during sleep 

These lenses work by adjusting how light reaches the retina, helping to slow eye growth over time. 

They can also provide:

• clear, natural vision 
• greater freedom for sports and activities 
• improved confidence for some children 

Suitability is assessed individually, and we will guide you through the most appropriate options.

Myopia management is particularly beneficial for:

• children with increasing prescriptions 
• children with early onset short-sightedness 
• those with a family history of myopia 
• children who spend significant time on screens or close work

Myopia management is not a one-off treatment.

Regular follow-up appointments allow us to:

• monitor progression 
• adjust treatment where needed 
• ensure ongoing eye health 

This ensures your child’s vision is supported at every stage.

If your child’s prescription is changing or you would like to explore ways to better manage their vision, we would be happy to help.
