Myopia Management
As an optometrist, I run this unique myopia clinic consultant paediatric ophthalmologists in London and Hong Kong. My deep commitment to myopia control is driven by the belief that in the 21st century, no one should suffer from high myopia. This passion has led me to establish a comprehensive myopia control clinic at Imperial College Healthcare Private Care. My primary goal is to halt the progression of myopia, ensuring that my young patients can enjoy clear vision and an improved quality of life through our detailed management and continuous monitoring.At my clinic, I provide a range of specialised services specifically tailored to manage and control myopia in children. These include standard refraction tests to accurately determine each child's current prescription needs, cycloplegic refraction to measure the true refractive error by temporarily paralysing the ciliary muscle, and the precise measurement of axial length to monitor eye growth and assess the progression of myopia.
Additionally, I offer various types of contact lenses designed specifically for myopia control, including soft lenses and Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) lenses, which are worn overnight to reshape the cornea.I also provide specially engineered lenses designed exclusively for myopia control, offering another effective option for managing this condition in children.
