Why it's important to start myopia control on time
Nearsightedness in children is not just about wearing glasses. Without control, it can progress and increase the risk of complications in the future.
Myopia develops unnoticed
In children, myopia often progresses without pain or obvious complaints. Early detection is only possible with regular diagnostics.
Without control, myopia worsens as the eye grows
Regular glasses correct vision but don't affect the progression mechanism. With progressive myopia, vision drops by 1 diopter or more per year. Special lenses are designed to slow this process by half.
High myopia increases the risk of complications
The higher the degree of myopia, the greater the likelihood of retinal diseases and other serious complications in the future.
Most effective to act during growth period
Myopia control is most effective during childhood and adolescence when the eye is actively developing. Slowing myopia growth by 1 diopter in childhood can reduce the risk of myopic maculopathy by 40%.
OUR SOLUTION
We apply methods proven to slow myopia progression
Clinical studies have shown that myopia control lenses are effective in reducing myopia progression. After 12–18 months, myopia progression decreased by approximately 50%.
The lenses continued to be effective after 4–5 years, reducing myopia progression by 40% over this period. We work with technologies from world leaders — Rodenstock MyCon and LTL MyoJunior — specifically designed to slow myopia in children.

EDUCATION
Why myopia cannot be ignored
Understanding the problem is the first step to solving it.
Myopia (nearsightedness) is a vision disorder where a child sees well up close but has difficulty distinguishing objects at a distance. This happens because the eyeball elongates, and the image focuses in front of the retina rather than on it. In children, myopia often starts developing at school age and can progress until 18-20 years old.
In myopia, the eye becomes longer than normal, and light from distant objects focuses in front of the retina rather than on it. As a result, distant images appear blurry while the child sees clearly up close. Myopia development is influenced by heredity, prolonged visual strain at close range (including screen work), and insufficient time spent in daylight.
With high-degree myopia, there is an increased risk of retinal changes, thinning, detachment, as well as other eye diseases including glaucoma. Therefore, myopia is not just about choosing glasses — it's about long-term eye health and reducing future risks.
Myopia in a child cannot be accurately assessed through a quick exam or self-administered vision check. Full ophthalmological diagnostics with modern equipment and professional specialist evaluation are necessary for detection and progression control.

I brought my daughter for an eye check-up. The doctor found an early stage of myopia that we wouldn't have noticed for a long time. Now we wear special lenses, and the progression has stopped. Very grateful for the professionalism!

My son is 8 years old and started squinting at school. At Eurooptica, they did a full diagnostic and explained everything clearly. They selected glasses, and after six months at the follow-up — everything is stable. I recommend it!

We visited another clinic — they said everything was fine. We decided to double-check at Eurooptica. It turned out our child had -1.5 in one eye. Thank you for the thorough approach and modern equipment!

We brought our son for a preventive check-up on a friend's recommendation. They found a predisposition to myopia. The doctor explained the risks and created a monitoring program. Now we come every six months.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What parents ask about childhood myopia
Short answers to the most common questions. Didn’t find yours? Leave your number in the form below and the doctor will answer by phone.
What is myopia and why does it progress in children?
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a condition in which a child sees well up close but poorly at a distance: the eyeball elongates and the image focuses in front of the retina. In children it usually starts at school age and can progress until 18–20. It is accelerated by heredity, long periods of close work and screens, and a lack of daylight.
How can I tell that my child is becoming short-sighted?
The child squints at the board or at distant objects, complains of headaches and tired eyes, spends a lot of time on gadgets and homework, and parents or relatives have vision problems. One such sign is enough to book a check-up: myopia develops unnoticed, and the earlier control starts, the more stable the result.
What does the examination include and how much does it cost?
An in-depth examination of 20 parameters of vision and eye health on TOPCON equipment takes 45 minutes and costs from 400 MDL. Based on the results, the ophthalmologist explains the dynamics and draws up an individual myopia control programme: lenses, visual workload regime and a check-up schedule.
Which methods slow myopia down, and by how much?
Myopia-control lenses Rodenstock MyCon and LTL MyoJunior, designed specifically for children. According to clinical studies, after 12–18 months myopia progression is reduced by about 50%, and over 4–5 years by 40% compared with ordinary single-vision lenses. Ordinary glasses correct vision but do not affect the growth of myopia.
How often do we need to come for check-ups?
Every 6 months. At the follow-up the doctor compares the parameters with the previous ones, assesses how much the myopia has slowed and, if necessary, adjusts the programme: changes the lenses or the recommendations on visual workload. Regularity is the main condition for results.
My child already has a prescription for myopia-control lenses. What now?
Come with the valid prescription to any Eurooptica store: we clarify the prescription and make glasses with myopia-control lenses, following the doctor’s parameters exactly. If time has passed since the examination, we recommend an additional check to make sure the prescription is still current.
