Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is one of the fastest growing vision problems among children around the world. It develops when the eyes grow too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry. Increased screen time, reduced outdoor activity, and genetics all play a role in more children needing glasses at an early age.

At Pasteur Optometrists, we are passionate about protecting children’s vision. That is why we offer the MiYOSMART lens from HOYA, an award winning innovation developed in partnership with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Unlike ordinary lenses, MiYOSMART uses advanced myopic defocus technology to correct vision while helping to slow the progression of myopia. It is safe, noninvasive, and clinically proven to make a lasting difference in a child’s eye health.

Clear vision today means brighter futures tomorrow. Every child deserves the chance to see their world clearly.

Our optometrist, Dina Bornman, has had a very productive week.

She started her week in Cape Town at the Eyespace Workshop, where she gained valuable insights to further enhance the care she provides to her contact lens patients. While there, she also had the opportunity to connect with some of the leading names in the field: Lachlan Hoy, Managing Director of EyeSpace Australia, Charl Laas, Director of EyeSpace New Zealand, and Mariska van Zyl from EyeSpace South Africa, who can all be seen in the photo below.

On 23 October, Dina travelled to Johannesburg to attend the ContactConnect 2025 Contact Lens Conference, hosted by the Contact Lens Society of South Africa. This annual event brings together leading specialists from around the world to share the latest advances in contact lens technology, myopia management and clinical innovation. It provides optometrists with the opportunity to exchange ideas, connect with industry leaders and explore new ways to deliver even better patient care.

At Pasteur Optometrists, we believe that exceptional eye care comes from continuous learning and professional growth. Our optometrists are committed to staying informed and advancing their knowledge so that every patient receives the highest standard of care.

Tonometry: Why a puff of air can save your vision!

When you come in for an eye test at Pasteur Optometrists, you might notice we do a quick puff of air to measure the pressure inside your eyes. That’s called tonometry.

It’s a small test that can make a big difference!

Tonometry helps us detect early signs of glaucoma, a condition that can cause permanent vision loss if not caught in time. The tricky part is that glaucoma often has no symptoms in its early stages, which is why routine eye pressure checks are so important, even if your vision feels perfectly fine.

Regular eye exams with tonometry ensure we catch any changes early so we can protect your sight for years to come. We also do referrals to an ophthalmologist when we have concerns about your eye pressure to ensure that you get the best possible outcome as one of our valued patients.

Prevention truly is better than cure. You can contact us at 079 514 3669 to book your comprehensive eye test with tonometry.
