We’ve got cutting-edge diagnostic tools to help spot the signs of myopia as early as possible. We’ll carry out a thorough eye examination to assess your overall eye health and the extent of your myopia, before developing a personalised treatment plan.

Controlling myopia

If you or your child is diagnosed with myopia, there’s a range of treatments available to help manage the symptoms and slow down its progression. At Potters Bar Eyecare, we specialise in advanced treatments, including Ortho-K (orthokeratology) lenses, MiYOSMART lenses, and MiSight contact lenses.

• Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) lenses are specially designed contact lenses worn overnight. They temporarily reshape the cornea while you sleep, allowing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contacts. Ortho-K not only provides a convenient, glasses-free option for daytime but can also help control myopia progression by reducing eye elongation.
• MiYOSMART lenses are innovative myopia control lenses with D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology. These lenses create a unique treatment zone that helps slow down the eye’s elongation while providing clear vision. MiYOSMART lenses are worn like regular glasses, offering a non-invasive way to manage myopia progression.
• MiSight contact lenses are daily disposable lenses specifically designed for children with myopia. Using ActivControl® technology, they create optical zones that help reduce myopia progression over time while delivering clear and comfortable vision for daily activities. Studies have shown that MiSight lenses are effective in managing myopia when used consistently.

Additionally, lifestyle changes such as spending more time outdoors and exercising long-range vision can complement these treatments and support overall eye health.

Early intervention for children

Myopia is a progressive condition, so detecting it early and creating a treatment plan as soon as possible is crucial to slow it down and ensure it doesn’t get too serious. If myopia is detected in early childhood, we can give children the best chance of maintaining healthy eyesight throughout their lives. Eye examinations from a young age are key.
