One of the endearing aspects of myopia management and paediatric eye care is seeing the kids grow up. Claudia first came to see us when she was just 2 years old and getting her first pair of glasses for myopia. At age 4 she became our youngest OrthoK patient, enjoying clarity of vision without glasses starting primary school. In almost the blink of an eye she’s now almost 10, wearing her OrthoK lenses every night and her myopia well managed. Changing kids’ lives is such a rewarding part of what we do in our clinic, everyday. ❤️

On this busy Saturday before the new school year begins, 9 new OrthoK patients started their night lens journey with us. These lucky kids will be able to go to school next week glasses-free!

OrthoK, short for orthokeratology, is a treatment for myopia (shortsightedness) that uses custom-designed, precision-made clear moulds to gently reshape the eye surface at night, during sleep 😴. The result is the ability to see clearly in the day without wearing glasses, while slowing the progression of myopia.

Thanks to our incredible team to make this possible! ❤️

A new US study published this week provided further evidence that 0.01% atropine eye drops do NOT effectively slow myopia progression or eye elongation in children.

Key points from study:

Question: Do low-dose atropine, 0.01%, eye drops delivered nightly over 2 years slow the progression of myopia in children aged 5 to 12 years in the US?

Finding: In this randomized clinical trial including 187 children, atropine, 0.01%, eye drops did not slow myopia progression or axial elongation.

This new study and the Hong Kong LAMP study (2018-) confirm that previous conclusions drawn from the older ATOM2 study in Singapore (2016) were in fact flawed. What we know now is that effectiveness of atropine treatment is concentration-dependent and 0.01% is an inadequate dose.

Being at the forefront of myopia management means staying up-to-date on the latest evidence and findings in an evolving area of research to provide the best care.

At Myopia Clinic Melbourne, treating well over 2000 children with myopia, we moved to prescribing more effective and more appropriate atropine concentrations several years ago already, yielding good results in slowing progression and eye elongation in our patients.

Every child is different and needs to be managed individually, based on their unique progression profile and risk factors. With all the intervention options available in our clinic - including atropine, orthokeratology, myopia control contact lenses and spectacle lenses, and combinations of these treatments - we can tailor each patient’s treatment to give the best possible outcome.
