Myopia Control: Protecting Children’s Vision for the Future
At Brian D Suttie Opticians, we are on a mission to safeguard the visual health of children through advanced myopia control. With increasing numbers of young individuals developing myopia, or short-sightedness, our focus is on innovative solutions to manage this condition effectively and preserve their vision for the future.
As part of our comprehensive eye care services, we specialise in providing individualised myopia management strategies. These are tailored to each child’s specific needs, utilising cutting-edge technology and a thorough understanding of their lifestyle and visual requirements.
One of the many advanced tools at our disposal is the iCare EIDON, featuring confocal scanning, TrueColor® Technology, and UltraWide-Field Imaging. This equipment allows us to capture detailed, lifelike images of the retina, facilitating an accurate assessment of myopia progression. These high-resolution images are pivotal in designing personalised treatment plans that aim to slow the progression of myopia.
Moreover, we utilise axial length measurement and anterior eye assessment to gain a deeper understanding of each child’s ocular condition. Such detailed examinations aid in predicting how myopia could develop and determining the most suitable interventions. These might include specially designed contact lenses and prescription glasses, which not only correct vision but also help manage myopia.
Educating families about myopia and its implications is an integral part of our approach. We provide parents with all the necessary information about potential future risks and the importance of regular eye exams. Our practice ensures that children undergo a full-range eye examination, focusing not just on myopia, but on overall eye health.
By choosing Brian D Suttie Opticians, you are entrusting your child’s eyes to skilled professionals who are committed to providing exceptional care with state-of-the-art technology. We are dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes and helping each child achieve and maintain optimal vision as they grow.
