This week is myopia awareness week. At David Stephensen Optometrist we take pride in our scientific approach to myopia management. By utilising accurate biometric measurements of children’s growing eyes we can tailor management strategies to control the rate of progression of myopia (shortsightedness).

✨ Clearer vision. Less fog. ✨
We developed a new custom scleral lens design in our practice to better support patients with complex corneas—like those with keratoconus, corneal grafts, or post-surgical changes.

Scleral lenses typically settle and lose some of their central clearance over time. But with this design, we actually saw a 76 micron increase in central clearance one month after fitting.

💡 What does that mean if you’re wearing them?
• Less pressure on sensitive parts of your eye
• More comfortable wear, even all day
• Clearer vision with less ‘midday fog’
• More stability, less fluctuation

We’re hopeful this approach will lead to better long-term comfort and clearer, more reliable vision for people who rely on scleral lenses every day.

I’m in at our practice today dealing with some leaks and some uncommissioned street art. I spotted these Ted Baker Amal frames from our friends at Mondottica. What does everyone think of these on me? I’m due for a new pair.
