Don’t Neglect Your Children’s Vision
Did you know that 80% of school learning stems from vision?
If a child's sight isn't sharp, it can impact their ability to learn. Often, children won't voice vision complaints because they assume everyone sees as they do.
One prevalent issue is child myopia, affecting over 1/3 of the global population, a number set to surge to 50% by 2050. Myopia, or nearsightedness, blurs distance vision while allowing clear sight up close. It typically arises between ages 7 and 13, during rapid growth phases or when the eyeball grows too swiftly for the child's age.
Myopia in adulthood can lead to serious eye diseases like glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, cataracts, and retinal detachments. Hence, early detection in children is crucial. Detecting myopia early not only improves their vision but also helps manage and slow its progression.
Treatment often involves glasses, contact lenses, and special eye-drops to correct and decelerate myopia. By addressing myopia promptly, we can enhance children's vision and mitigate future eye health risks. For information about myopia lenses and contact lenses see our page on lens options for children
Don't gamble with your child's sight. Schedule their eye exam today and ensure they have the clarity they need for a successful academic year and a bright future ahead!

Are you over 50? You could be at risk ...
Macular Disease
is the leading cause of legal blindness in Australia. But if you know your risk and take action, you could save your sight.
What can I do about it?
Many Australians are at risk of vision loss but don’t know it. A staggering 1 in 7 people over 50 already show signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
If you’re 50+, or you’re living with diabetes or have a family member with age-related macular degeneration, you have an even greater risk of macular disease.
However, early diagnosis and treatment could save your sight.
Find out whether you or a family member are at higher risk of Macular Disease.
Book in for an eye examination to detect any early sins of Macular Disease
If you would like any further information about Macular Disease or would like to book an appointment by phone, call us at the practice.
