Frequently asked questions
What is myopia?
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is when distant objects look blurry but near objects stay clear. It usually starts between 6 and 14 years of age and progresses through the teenage years. Without treatment, myopia can keep getting worse, raising the lifetime risk of serious eye problems.
How do I know if my child has myopia?
Common signs include squinting at the TV, sitting close to screens, holding books close, head tilting, headaches after school, or a parent already wearing glasses for distance. Try Magnif-eye, our free AI screening tool, in under 2 minutes, then book a comprehensive eye test if needed.
How can I slow my child's myopia?
There are four evidence-based options: Ortho-K (overnight contact lenses), MiYOSMART iQ spectacle lenses, Stellest 2.0 spectacle lenses, and low-dose atropine eye drops. Each works well, and they can be combined. 1001 Optometry is brand-agnostic, so we recommend the option that fits your child.
At what age should my child have their first eye test?
From age 3, or earlier if there is a family history of myopia. Comprehensive eye tests for eligible children are bulk-billed through Medicare. Children should also have an eye test before starting school.
What is Magnif-eye?
Magnif-eye is a free AI-powered children's myopia screening tool from 1001 Optometry. It scans photos from your camera roll for visual indicators associated with myopia risk, in under 2 minutes. Photos are never stored or shared. Magnif-eye is a screening tool only, not a diagnostic device.
How accurate is Magnif-eye?
Magnif-eye screens for visual indicators associated with myopia risk. It is not a diagnostic tool. The result tells you whether to book a comprehensive eye test sooner rather than later. Only a comprehensive eye test with an optometrist can confirm a diagnosis.
How much does an Ortho-K fitting cost in Sydney?
Ortho-K fittings at 1001 Optometry start from $1,800 and include the consultation, custom lens design, teaching session, trial lenses and 12 months of follow-up. Many private health funds rebate part of the cost.
What is the difference between MiYOSMART iQ and Stellest 2.0?
Both are next-generation myopia control spectacle lenses. MiYOSMART iQ is made by HOYA and uses D.I.M.S. technology. Stellest 2.0 is made by EssilorLuxottica and uses H.A.L.T. technology. Your optometrist will recommend the option that fits your child's prescription, age and progression rate.
Can myopia be cured?
There is no cure for myopia, but progression can be slowed significantly with evidence-based treatments. The earlier we start, the more we slow progression and the more we protect your child's vision for life.
Is Ortho-K safe for children?
Yes. When fitted by a qualified optometrist and used as instructed, Ortho-K is safe and reversible. Hand and lens hygiene is the most important safety rule, and we teach the routine to every parent and child.
Will my child need to wear myopia control glasses forever?
No. Most children wear myopia control lenses until myopia stabilises in the late teens, usually for 3 to 6 years total. After that, they can switch to standard glasses or contact lenses if needed.
