Helping Clients with Myopia Management on The Central Coast
Helping Clients Manage Myopia
At Central Coast Eyecare in Gosford, Erina, Budgewoi and Killarney Vale, we are committed to supporting patients with myopia management. Myopia, or near sightedness, is a common vision condition that requires specialised care and our practice is equipped with advanced technology to accurately diagnose and monitor its progression.
We understand the importance of early intervention. Our optometrists provide personalised myopia management solutions tailored to each patient’s unique visual needs. Whether for children, adolescents or adults, we offer comprehensive strategies designed to effectively manage myopia and slow its progression.
Our approach may include corrective prescription eyewear, specialised lenses, eye exercises or lifestyle adjustments, all designed to support long term visual health. We work closely with each patient to develop a customised plan that fits their lifestyle and vision requirements.
To learn more about our myopia management services or to book an appointment, contact our Central Coast Eyecare Gosford, Erina, Budgewoi or Killarney Vale stores today.
About Our Myopia Management Services
Although we tailor our myopia treatments to the specific needs of our patients, they typically involve the following:
1. Myopia Assessments: We conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the extent of myopia and identify related risk factors, establishing a baseline for effective management.
2. Tailored Treatment Plans: Our interventions are customised based on factors like age, the rate of myopia progression and individual lifestyle, ensuring a personalised approach to myopia management.
3. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Through overnight contact lens wear, we temporarily reshape the cornea, providing clear daytime vision without the need for glasses or traditional lenses.
4. Myopia Control Spectacle Lenses: We offer specialised lenses like Foyer MyoSmart and MyoCare ZEISS, designed to slow myopia progression by altering how light focuses on the retina.
5. Atropine Therapy: In certain cases, we may recommend low-dose atropine eye drops to help decelerate myopia progression.
6. Lifestyle and Behavioral Adjustment Recommendations: We educate patients and parents about lifestyle factors such as outdoor time and screen usage, equipping them with knowledge to make informed choices that positively impact myopia management and eye health.

Potential Benefits of Myopia Management
With our myopia management services, you may receive the following potential benefits:
1. Reduced Myopia Progression: By implementing a range of strategies, we aim to slow down the rate of myopia progression, potentially reducing its severity over time.
2. Better Long-Term Eye Health: Slowing myopia progression may contribute to a decreased risk of developing associated eye conditions, such as retinal detachment and glaucoma, in later years. This can promote lifelong ocular well-being.
3. Clearer Vision: Customised myopia management services may help you enjoy vision clarity. This can, in turn, reduce the need for frequent prescription updates and enhance overall visual comfort.
4. Less Dependence on Glasses: Our myopia management techniques aim to decrease the reliance on glasses or contact lenses, offering more visual freedom to those with myopia.
5. Early Intervention: Addressing myopia early in life maximises the chances of successful management and can potentially reduce the overall severity of the condition.
No approach to myopia management guarantees success. However, at Central Coast Eyecare, we'll do everything in our power to help you reverse nearsightedness and enjoy maximum visual clarity in the long term.
