Does the myopia go up at every check-up?
Advanced, personalised treatments to slow the progression of myopia in children, young people and adults.
Does any of this sound familiar,
for you or for someone in your family?
Changing glasses corrects the vision, but it does not slow it down
A prescription that keeps going up
The myopia increases at every check-up (yours or your children’s) and you are worried about the long-term impact on eye health
Difficulty and effort seeing in the distance
Having to screw up your eyes to focus on distant objects, or visual fatigue building up while studying or working
Sport and an active life
Looking for a comfortable, glasses-free and safe solution for playing sport or simply playing every day.
Entrance exams or an alternative to surgery
Wanting sharp vision throughout the day without depending on everyday glasses or going into the operating theatre.
Personalised treatments to slow the progression of myopia
We do not just want to save you from changing glasses over and over; we want to avoid bigger problems. When the prescription rises too far, the eye stretches more than it should and the risks of serious retinal complications, glaucoma or early cataracts go up.
The sooner we assess the case, the more room we have to slow the myopia down.
What solutions do we look at in your personalised assessment?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-k / night lenses)
Special lenses that gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, so you can see clearly during the day without glasses or contact lenses, while also slowing down the myopia.
Glasses for myopia control
Latest-generation lenses with peripheral defocus technology (such as MiyoSmart or Stellest) designed to slow the increase in prescription.
Contact lenses for myopia control
Daily wear soft lenses (such as MiSight) that help to slow the rate at which myopia progresses.
Vision therapy
Recommended in specific cases to improve focusing and the efficiency of the visual system.

Frequently asked questions
Can myopia be stopped completely?
The myopia that has already appeared cannot be removed, but there are clinically proven treatments to control its progression and slow the rate at which it increases.
Are there glasses or contact lenses that stop myopia from increasing?
Yes. Clinical optometry now has peripheral defocus lenses and special contact lenses (both daily wear and overnight / ortho-k) designed specifically to slow the rate at which the prescription increases, protecting visual health in the long term.
Who can have orthokeratology (ortho-k) treatment?
It is a safe, reversible option recommended both for children and young people who are still growing and for adults, athletes or exam candidates who want to be free of glasses without surgery.
When is the right time to start?
The sooner the progression is detected and acted on, the more room there is to protect visual health in the future.
