We have now been dispensing Miyosmart lenses for over a year!
We are now seeing many of our young myopia management patients back for their annual check-ups and the results are outstanding. The vast majority of children who are compliant with our myopia management advice & wear Miyosmart lenses as the full time vision correction have seen their prescriptions stabilise.

BEFORE
AFTER
Finally….you don’t have to stand idly by while your child’s glasses get thicker every year due to Myopia.
We are leading the way with developments in Myopia (short-sightedness) control. Our staff are highly trained and experienced using different methods of controlling the progression of short- sightedness.
Problems Associated with higher levels of Myopia
With Myopia the Retina (the light sensitive layer at the back of the eye) is stretched which increases the risk of some abnormal conditions. Shortsighted people of -4.50 are 10 times more likely to have Macular degeneration and Retinal Detachments in later life (over 40). They are also 3 times more likely to suffer from Glaucoma and Cataracts. The ability to drive, read or work on a screen can be affected by these conditions.

We have commissioned a new line titled fun fashion which are now available in store. Fun, fashionable and reasonably priced!

3D OCT Screening
Did you know that 3D OCT screening of your eyes can diagnose potentially serious conditions that can affect your eyesight and overall well-being?
We have just invested in a top of the range piece of diagnostic equipment that can detect a number of common eye conditions, such as glaucoma, AMD and diabetic retinopathy, during a routine eye test.

All Zeiss lenses now offer full UV protection.
UV radiation poses a significant danger to eye health and not all damage can be seen with the naked eye.
No matter what season it is, or what the weather conditions are, UV is always there and long term exposure can cause cataracts, wrinkles and even cancer!
Even clear Zeiss lenses block UV up to 400nm so you can be confident that your eye's are safe.

Elliott opticians are delighted to introduce
MiSight® 1 day contact lenses:
proven to help slow down short-sightedness in children.
What is short-sightedness?
Short-sightedness, also called myopia, typically happens because the eyeballs are too long and causes blurry distance vision. It usually starts around 8-12 years old and continues to get progressively worse until the child stops growing. The younger a child is when they first become short-sighted, the worse their prescription is likely to become. Most children who become short-sighted at a young age are often totally reliant on glasses to see by the time they have stopped growing.
Being reliant on glasses to see well leads to greater challenges in many aspects of everyday life – especially when growing up. Later in life, short-sightedness can lead to eye health and vision issues; the more short-sighted you are, the greater these risks become.That’s why it’s really important to look at ways to slow down the speed at which short-sightedness progresses.
Is there anything I can do?
Regular eye examinations are essential for children to make sure that they are seeing as well as possible and we can discuss strategies to reduce the risk of becoming short-sighted.
If your child is already short-sighted, you may have already experienced the need to change the prescription regularly leading to stronger glasses. Updating the glasses prescription helps with vision but does nothing to slow the speed at which the prescription changes as the eyeball continues to grow.
Introducing MiSight® 1 day contact lenses.
MiSight® 1 day contact lenses have been specifically designed to help slow down the speed at which short-sightedness develops. They look and feel like ordinary one day soft contact lenses but they have a very different optical design called ActivControl™ Technology. In fact, clinical studies with MiSight® 1 day show that the speed of short-sightedness progression is slowed down by more than half compared to ordinary vision correction.2* This means they may be less reliant on glasses but most importantly, the risk of future eye health problems is reduced.
To find out more about MiSight® 1 day lenses please get in touch with us.
