Helping Children See a Brighter Future

Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common, especially in children. At Belson & Sons Opticians, we offer specialist Myopia Management to help slow the progression of myopia in young eyes—supporting better long-term eye health and vision.


What is Myopia Management?

Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry and often worsens over time, particularly during a child’s growth years. High levels of myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Myopia Management involves clinically proven methods to slow down this progression, helping to protect your child’s future vision.

How We Manage Myopia

At Belson & Sons, we use a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to your child’s needs:

  • Specialist Myopia Control Spectacle Lenses
    Designed to slow progression while providing excellent vision and comfort.
  • MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses
    Daily disposable lenses proven to slow myopia progression in children aged 8–15.
  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
    Overnight lenses that gently reshape the eye while sleeping, offering clear daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses.
  • Lifestyle & Vision Advice
    We offer personalised advice on screen use, lighting, and outdoor activities to support your child’s eye development.

Is Myopia Management Right for Your Child?

If your child’s prescription is becoming stronger each year, or if there’s a family history of myopia, they may benefit from a Myopia Management plan. Early intervention is key.

Book a Myopia Assessment

We offer dedicated Myopia Management Assessments where we evaluate your child’s eye health, prescription, lifestyle habits, and discuss suitable treatment options.

    • MORE THAN JUST A SIGHT TEST

      A visit to the opticians begins with an appointment to see
      one of the optometrists for a Standard Eye Examination.

    • HERE TO HELP

      We provide a sympathetic service to small children (including infants — we are happy to see children at any age), the elderly and those with special educational needs. We provide a Domiciliary (Home Visit) Eye Examination Service under contract to the NHS for patients who are unable to attend one of our practices without substantial assistance.


      In addition to our Standard Eye Examination, we offer a number of additional services.
