Kids Myopia

Low-dose atropine eye drops help slow myopia progression in children. Learn how they work, safety, effectiveness, and what parents should know in Singapore.

For many parents in Singapore, managing myopia in children is no longer just about glasses. Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K lenses, are gaining popularity as a safe, non-surgical option that gives children clear daytime vision without the need for spectacles or contact lenses. Worn only while sleeping, Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the cornea overnight. By morning, the lenses are removed, leaving the child with sharp vision for the day.

Myopia is becoming one of the most common childhood eye conditions in Singapore. While spectacles remain the standard option, more parents are now asking about soft contact lenses for kids. For children who are active, self-conscious about glasses, or experiencing progressive myopia, soft contact lenses may be a safe and effective solution.

Myopia (short-sightedness) in children is rising at unprecedented rates in Singapore, with many experiencing rapid progression during their school years. Customised myopia control spectacles are specially designed to slow down this progression while providing clear, comfortable vision for learning and play.
