Worried your child’s short-sightedness is getting worse?

At Nu-Sight Opticians in Aylesbury, we offer a full myopia management service including Ortho-K (overnight vision correction), Hoya MiYOSMART spectacle lenses, and specialist soft contact lens options — supported by advanced measurements and ongoing monitoring.

Family-focused, thorough, and honest advice. Appointments available for children and teens.

What is myopia — and why does it matter?

Myopia means your child can see clearly up close, but distance vision is blurred. In many children it worsens year on year, especially during the school years.

Why we take it seriously:
Higher levels of myopia are linked with a greater lifetime risk of eye problems later on. Myopia management focuses on slowing progression, not just updating the prescription.

How myopia management works at Nu-Sight

We don’t guess — we measure, personalise, and monitor.

Step 1: Comprehensive assessment

We check your child’s vision, prescription, eye health, and discuss lifestyle and family history.

Step 2: Advanced measurements & baseline tracking

Where appropriate, we take measurements that help us monitor progression over time (so we can see whether treatment is working).

Step 3: Choose the right treatment plan

We recommend options based on age, prescription, lifestyle, and suitability.

Step 4: Ongoing reviews

Regular check-ins to keep things safe, comfortable, and effective.

{Excellent personal service from Nat. Having used the practice for many years wouldn't think of using anyone else. Today had the previlage of being examined by the latest technology in eye care, Optomap, Nat took time and trouble to explain his findings in great detail. I feel I am in the most capable hands for my eye care. Thank you for your care, concern and attention to detail.{

{Nat was recommended to me by a friend and as I've got older and my eyesight more complicated I am glad I came to Nu-Sight. Yes the eye test was more expensive than I have been used to, but Nat was very thorough and it's clear that he knows what he's doing. He asks questions to understand you and your needs and he explains aspects of the exam to inform you of what he is looking for. I definitely recommend his services.{
