Managing Myopia Early
Myopia, or short-sightedness, often develops during childhood and can worsen over time.
At Pezzimenti Nixon, we specialise in early detection and customised treatments to slow its progression. Using advanced techniques like orthokeratology (Ortho-K), specialised glasses, low-dose atropine and multifocal contact lenses, we help manage myopia to protect you or your child’s long-term vision.

What is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical alternative to assist in correcting vision issues. It involves wearing special contact lenses overnight that gently reshape the cornea.
All the heavy lifting is done while you sleep, so you can see clearly during the day without wearing glasses or contacts!
While studies have shown that it’s effective in correcting both myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia, research shows that Ortho-K will slow down the progression of myopia in children by approximately 50%.
Book an appointment with one of our experienced optometrists to find out if Ortho-K might be a suitable option for you or your child.
Multifocal Contact Lenses for Myopia Control
We understand that overnight contacts aren’t for everyone. So the good news is, orthokeratology isn’t your only option when it comes to managing myopia!
Multifocal contacts are another effective way to slow down the progression of short-sightedness. These specially designed lenses provide different focusing zones, allowing clear vision while reducing eye strain.
Low Dose Atropine Eye Drops
For years, low-concentration atropine eye drops (0.01% to 0.05%) have been a trusted option for slowing the progression of myopia.
These drops are easy to use daily and work alongside glasses to correct vision while protecting your eye health for the long term.
Glasses for Myopia Control
Innovative spectacle lenses, like MiYosmart and Stellest, offer a simple and effective way to manage myopia.
These advanced lenses not only provide clear, comfortable vision but also help slow down the progression of short-sightedness—all in a safe, non-invasive way.
