Management of short-sightedness

This is a relatively new area of an optician’s skill set. Short-sightedness can increase the risk of eye disease later in life. Conditions such as Retinal Tears, Retinal Detachment, Glaucoma, Cataract and Myopic Maculopathy have increasing risk with increase in short-sightedness.

Newly designed lenses and contact lenses can slow this process down. If your child is short-sighted, then this may be an option for them depending on the rate of progression. Having a parent with short-sightedness is a risk factor, as well as genetics. Being outdoors for 3 hours a day is a good benchmark for children when trying to maintain good distance vision.

I took my 7yr old to have a routine eye test and Jonathan was fantastic with him, completely put him at ease, a much friendlier and personal approach than the large chains. Have recommended Clearvue to all family and friends.

Received very good service at the Currie branch, Jonathan the Optometrist was very thorough, took time to talk me through my eye images and was very helpful and caring. Great service received and would highly recommend to anyone. My Partner and daughter are also booked in to see Jonathan so we now have a family optician for all of our eye care.
