About Us
Helping families understand short-sightedness, assess risk and discuss suitable myopia management.
About Myopia Prevention and what we do
At a glance: Myopia Prevention is a Smart Vision Optometry educational resource for families in Sydney. Our Bondi Beach and Mosman practices assess vision and eye health, explain the findings and discuss management choices. Plans depend on the individual; treatment cannot guarantee that myopia will stop progressing.
About Myopia
Myopia, or short-sightedness, makes distant objects appear blurred because light focuses in front of the retina. It commonly relates to the eye being too long for its focusing power. Keratoconus is a separate corneal condition and should not be used as another name for myopia.
Watch Us In Practice
Our approach begins with an eye examination and a discussion of symptoms, previous prescriptions and individual risk factors.
Our Assessment and Treatment Methods
An assessment can include distance vision, prescription, eye health and relevant functional vision tests. Where appropriate, the clinician will discuss myopia-control options and follow-up. Ortho-K temporarily reshapes the cornea to reduce daytime dependence on glasses; suitability and results vary.
