VISION FOR KIDS
DID YOU KNOW
Did you know that children should have their first eye examination as early as 3 years old and subsequently at every 6 months? As they are developing as a person, so does their vision! It helps them to recognise family faces, familiarise different places, and cultivate learning interest from visual stimulus. Seeing clearly plays a determining role for their personal development.
Children with poor eyesight may exhibit behavior change, and it may be difficult for them to verbally explain their frustrations. Conditions such as lazy eye (amblyopia) or squint eye (strabismus) can occur in young ones, and are treated more effectively when detected early.

MULTIFOCAL SOFT CONTACT LENSES
Multifocal soft contact lenses have emerged as a groundbreaking approach to managing myopia progression in children. Unlike traditional single-vision lenses, MFCLs are designed with multiple prescription zones to correct nearsightedness while also addressing the defocus that contributes to myopia progression
MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses
In response to the escalating incidence of myopia, MiSight® 1 Day contact lenses have been developed as an innovative intervention. These lenses are specifically designed to control the progression of myopia in children. Clinical trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated the efficacy of MiSight® 1 Day lenses in slowing myopia progression through the dual-focus design, which provides both clear vision and a treatment effect …
How Ortho-K Benefits Kids & Beyond
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) stands out as a revolutionary approach to managing myopia in children, offering a non-surgical, reversible alternative that grants freedom from daytime glasses or contacts. This innovative method involves overnight corneal reshaping, proven to slow myopia progression by up to 56%, thereby mitigating risks associated with severe myopia later in life ….
IMPROVE VISION OVER NIGHT
Ortho-K utilises specially designed gas permeable contact lenses that are worn overnight. These lenses apply gentle pressure to the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye responsible for focusing light onto the retina. The cornea’s shape is crucial in determining how well the eye can focus light and, consequently, how clear the vision is.
Enhancing Vision Early
Pediatric vision issues are a significant concern as they can affect a child’s development, learning, and quality of life. Common pediatric vision problems include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (distorted vision), and amblyopia (lazy eye)…
