Myopia management and your child

Myopia or short-sightedness is easy to correct with glasses and contact lenses. However, there are some treatments that are proving very successful in slowing down myopia during childhood. This is called myopia management.

Why is this important?

Myopia is an eye health issue that every parent should be aware of. By 2050, the prediction is that over 50% of the world's population will be myopic. Higher levels of short sightedness can be associated with increased risk of eye disease in adulthood.

Special types of spectacle lenses or contact lenses are now being used with great effect to slow down the progression of myopia in children. They are used along with recommendations to encourage your child to alter daily activities and habits to help reduce the worsening of the condition. These new treatments are a very exciting development and reducing short sightedness has become an important topic in most optometry practices.

My Kids Vision is an excellent, free online resource helping you to understand more about short sightedness and how to slow its progress in your child.

My Kids Vision | Advice on treating and managing myopia in children

Dry eye occurs when you don't make enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly. It can make your eyes feel sore and gritty and can cause blurry vision. Strangely it often makes your eyes water because the oily layer in your tears becomes less effective.

Dry eye is more common as we get older and often more noticeable in women. The symptoms vary and can be quite uncomfortable and problematic for some people.

Treatments for dry eye

The treatment for dry eye depends on what is causing it and advice can be tailored to you after a dry eye assessment. It may be that drops, gels or ointments will relieve the symptoms and taking regular breaks from screens by looking away from the screen and blinking completely will help too.

For some cases of dry eye caused by poorly functioning oil glands, the treatment may involve using warm compresses and lid massage and cleansing routines.

Please call us for any further information or to book a dry eye assessment appointment.

The headlights of oncoming traffic can be dazzling when you are driving at night or in poor weather conditions. You may see ‘night driving glasses’ with amber-coloured plastic lenses available on the internet and in some shops. Optometrists do not recommend that you wear them as they restrict the amount of light entering your eyes and so may cause more problems than they solve.

If glare is an ongoing problem for you, make sure your windscreen and headlights are thoroughly cleaned and free from grime and dirt. If you wear glasses, you may find that having them coated with an anti-reflective coating may help – and don’t forget to keep them clean too. If you find that problems with glare at night persist, call us to make an appointment with one of our Dispensing Opticians.

Many people worry that viewing a screen can damage their eyes but there is no evidence of this. However there are many things you can do to make screen use easier and your eyes more comfortable. Altering the font size and brightness and contrast of the screen will help. Sometimes, because we view screens for hours on end, spectacles specifically designed for screen use are invaluable. These include lenses with specially adapted focusing lengths and lenses with coatings to reduce annoying reflections.

Here are some tips to reduce tiredness or "eyestrain"

Think 20-20-20. Every 20 minutes, look away from the screen at something 20 metres away for 20 seconds
There is a tendency to stare at screens without blinking and this makes our eyes feel dry and uncomfortable. Remember to blink regularly, and use those 20 seconds to blink more.
Position your monitor so that it is about 40 to 75 cm from your eyes and that the top of the screen is level with, or slightly below your eyes. Try to angle the screen slightly away from you at the top and position it to avoid annoying reflections from windows or light sources.

When you visit us, we will ask you about your screen set up so that we can advise you about the best lenses to help you see most clearly.
