Short-sightedness (or myopia) is on the rise especially in children. At Packford Opticians, we’re passionate about helping young eyes stay clear and healthy for longer. Our dedicated myopia management service offers clinically proven solutions to slow the progression of myopia and protect your child’s future vision.
If your child has been diagnosed with short-sightedness, or you're noticing them squinting more or sitting closer to screens, we're here to help.
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry and can progress rapidly during childhood and teenage years. Left unmanaged, it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life including glaucoma and retinal detachment.
Our myopia management approach focuses on early intervention and tailored solutions to help reduce long-term risk and keep your child seeing clearly.
We offer specialist myopia control spectacle lenses from renowned brands designed specifically for myopic children. These lenses correct your child’s vision while gently controlling how the eye grows, aiming to slow down the progression of short-sightedness over time.
For some children, we may also recommend soft daily contact lenses designed for myopia control. Our team will walk you through all the options to find the best fit for your child’s needs and lifestyle.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. We create personalised myopia management plans and monitor your child’s progress with care and consistency. Our goal is to protect their vision and their confidence for the long run.
