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.

Treatment options we offer

Ortho-K (Overnight Vision Correction)

  • What it is: Special contact lenses worn overnight that gently reshape the front of the eye.
  • In the morning: Lenses come out and your child sees clearly during the day (no glasses needed for most activities).
  • Why parents love it: Great for sport, active kids, and routines.
  • Best for: Active children / those suitable for overnight lens wear

Hoya MiYOSMART spectacle lenses

  • What it is: A specialist spectacle lens designed for myopia management while providing clear vision.
  • Why it’s popular: Non-invasive, simple day-to-day, ideal for children who prefer glasses.
  • Best for: Children who prefer glasses / easy daily routine

Specialist soft contact lens options

  • What it is: Daily disposable or reusable soft lenses designed for myopia management (subject to suitability).
  • Why it can work well: Comfortable, convenient, and suitable for some children/teens who want contact lenses.
  • Best for: Older children/teens / those wanting contact lenses

Which option is best for my child?

The honest answer: it depends — and that’s why we assess first.

We’ll consider:

  • Age and stage of myopia
  • Prescription and eye measurements
  • Lifestyle (sport, school, screens)
  • Confidence and responsibility
  • Comfort, safety, and budget

{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.{
