Urging all parents to make eye tests a back to school priority.

Did you know that more than 20% of children have been diagnosed with Myopia and short sightedness is soaring in Australia?

Short-sightedness "aka Myopia” is the most common cause of blurry vision in children and young adults.🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

If the vision is getting more blurry every year, can we do something to stop it from getting worse?

The short answer is ✅YES... we can control it !
Although we can’t stop it fully, we can significantly slow it down so that it does not progress too high.

But, why do we need to control it anyway when we can just get a new updated glasses every year?

Controlling Myopia is important because it help reduce the risk of vision threatening complications associated with high myopia later in life like:
❎ glaucoma
❎ cataracts
❎ retinal detachment
❎ blindness.

Currently there 4 ways to control or slow down Myopia:
✅ atropine eye drops medication
✅ multifocal soft contact lenses
✅ multifocal eyeglasses
✅ orthokeratology

Orthokeratology involves specially designed contact lenses that are worn only at night during sleep. In the morning, the lenses are removed and the temporary correction is good enough so glasses are not needed during the day. This also act as a way of slowing the myopia progression over time.

To learn more about Myopia and ways to reduce its progression, book an eye exam with our eye doctor or optometrist. 👁👀👓🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️✅

Trẻ em có cần kiểm tra mắt không?

Nếu bạn sống ở Queensland, tất cả học sinh mẫu giáo/Năm 1 tại các trường tham gia sẽ được khám mắt miễn phí thông qua chương trình Primary School Nurse Health Readiness Program.

Tuy nhiên, bạn không cần phải đợi cho đến khi có kết quả kiểm tra thị lực để kiểm tra mắt cho con bạn.

Con bạn nên kiểm tra mắt toàn diện với bác sĩ nhãn khoa trước 3 tuổi. Chi phí kiểm tra mắt trả bằng Medicare.

Kiểm tra mắt sớm trong thời thơ ấu là rất quan trọng để phát hiện và điều trị các tình trạng như nhược thị/mắt lười.

Các vấn đề về thị lực khi được điều trị có thể cải thiện khả năng học tập và sự tập trung cho con bạn.

Bạn có thể đặt lịch kiểm tra mắt cho con bạn tại www.visionprecinct.com.au

Do kids need their eye check?

If you live in Queensland, there is free vision screening offered to all Prep/Year 1 students in participating schools via the Primary School Nurse Health Readiness Program.

However, you do not have to wait until vision screening result to have your kid’s eye checked.

We recommend that your child have a comprehensive eye test with the optometrist before 3 years old. These eye tests are bulk billed, with no out of pocket cost.

Early eye testing in childhood is important for detecting and treating condition like lazy eye.

Vision problems when corrected early can improve learning, concentration, and behaviour.

Nhìn rõ mà không cần đeo kính, không phẫu thuật lasik, không cần kính áp tròng ban ngày!

Loại bỏ nhu cầu đeo kính hoặc kính áp tròng vào ban ngày với Orthokeratology – “OrthoK”.

Quy trình này yêu cầu bệnh nhân đeo kính áp tròng được thiết kế đặc biệt vào ban đêm khi ngủ. Những thấu kính này tạm thời định hình lại giác mạc bằng vài micro-mm để tái tập trung hình ảnh vào phía sau mắt, do đó loại bỏ hoặc giảm cận thị, viễn thị và loạn thị. Khi thức dậy, bệnh nhân nhìn rõ cả ngày, không cần đeo kính.

OrthoK không chỉ an toàn mà còn có thể dừng lại bất cứ lúc nào!

See clearly with no glasses, no lasik surgery, no daytime contact lenses!

Eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day with Orthokeratology or OrthoK.

This procedure involves the patient wearing specially designed contact lenses at night while sleeping. These lenses temporarily reshape the cornea by few micro-millimetres to refocus the images to the back of the eye, thus remove or reduce refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Upon waking up, the patient should see clearly for the whole day, without the need for glasses.

Not only is OrthoK safe, but also reversible!

As this week is Myopia Week, here is my Quick answers to Myopia:

👀 What Is Myopia?
Myopia is the single greatest threat to our children’s vision, resulting in poor vision in the distance. "Can't see far, but can see near".

👀 How can this affect my child?
This can affect their concentration and schooling while looking at the board in class.

👀 What causes myopia?
Both family genetics and environmental factors. If the parent is myopic, there is a high chance that the child will become myopic. Studies showed that the significant increase in the number of myopic people in the recent years is attributed to environmental risk factors, like spending less time outdoors and longer time on near based activities (eg. reading or screen time).

👀 How common is it?
On average, currently 30% of the world has myopia.
Estimated to increase to 50% by 2050. That’s 5 billion people!

👀 What are the signs of myopia?
Objects in the distance appear blurry. However, most young children don't report this to their parent as they don't know what is normal vision and what is abnormal blurry vision. Some children may report headaches and/or eye fatigue caused by the eyes straining to focus. Myopia usually develops during childhood, so parents should start to check behaviours, such as sitting too close to the TV, holding screens close to the face or squinting when looking at objects. Observant teachers may also notice children who have difficulty reading the board.

👀 Are there complications of Myopia?
Most people with mild to moderate myopia won’t experience any complications. However, high myopia, requiring a lens of -6.00D or more, does come with increased risk of complications, like risk of retinal detachment, cataracts, myopic degeneration and glaucoma, which can all cause vision loss. People with high myopia should have comprehensive eye health examinations regularly.

👀 Does myopia progress?
Myopia often progress through childhood and into early adulthood. Progression is recognised by distance vision getting blurry in spite of correction.

👀 Can myopia be prevented?
As myopia is often hereditary, it cannot be completely prevented. However, research suggests there are ways to slow the progression of the condition, especially in children. The condition may be delayed or prevented by spending less time on devices and more time outside, possibly due to increased exposure to sunlight or the need to look into the far distance regularly. While myopia cannot be completely prevented, it can be treated through the use of corrective lenses – multifocal glasses or contacts lenses – and through drug therapies (eye medication drops) that restrict peripheral focussing. The intent of this is to stop lengthening of the eyeball.
