Myopia management in Children
Myopia today represents a global health crisis, with half of the world’s population, expected to be short-sighted by 2050.
At first the child experiences blurred distance vision, which worsens as they grow up. It can progress rapidly in children, and may lead to sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment and macular degeneration later in life.
Today, with Stellest™ lenses, it’s possible to control their myopia progression. This is a major and a crucial choice for our children, because the earlier you control their myopia progression, the less their vision will be impacted.
Comprehensive Eye Examination
Your eyes are precious – at Benjamin Opticians, we strive to offer every patient the best care and make sure our eye examinations are accurate and thorough, so you are assured of having the right prescription and advice from our qualified team of Optometrists.
OCT Scans
The latest technology – OCT, or Ocular Coherence Tomography, helps your optician diagnose potential problems with your eyes. Using OCT, your Optician at Benjamin’s is able to see beneath the surface of the back of your eyes where problems may manifest.
