Hi, I’m Paul. 

Your child’s vision is still developing, which is why early intervention matters. It's difficult to see your child's vision changing and their prescription increasing every year. Our optometrists have a special interest in myopia control and work with families to create personalised plans based on your child’s age, prescription, and lifestyle.

We focus on practical, evidence-based options designed to slow progression, not just correct vision.

Let's Meet to Discuss Your Child's Vision Options

Step 1: Understand Your Child’s Vision

We assess your child’s prescription, eye health, and how their vision has been changing over time.

Step 2: Identify the Right Approach

Based on their age and needs, we recommend suitable myopia control options and explain how each works.

Step 3: Trial & Introduction

If contact lenses are suitable, your child can try them in a supported environment, at their own pace.

Step 4: Teach & Support

We guide both you and your child through everything, from handling lenses to building confidence.

Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring

Regular check-ups allow us to track progress and make adjustments if needed.
