Myopia, also called ‘being short-sighted’ is caused when the eye is either larger than normal or when the cornea becomes a little too curved. Myopia is a condition that is projected to be a global epidemic over the next few years. Small myopia is not usually an issue and is easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses , however high myopia can pose risks of retinal detachment, glaucoma and vision loss. This is why it is vital to get the right checks done when you have your eyes tested and have regular eye tests, especially for children. At Abra & Co. Opticians,

Our Optometrists are skilled at managing all types of Myopia and accredited for Myopia Management too.
At Abra & Co. Opticians, we understand your eyes are precious. If you have Myopia firstly our Optometrists will explain what your unique prescription means and what tasks we would encourage you to wear your glasses for. If this is your first spectacle prescription, then we will make some unique adjustments to your vision to make sure that you end up with vision that is natural and clear when you wear your glasses.
The next step is to select the right lenses to match your prescription needs. This means our expert dispensers will recommend the lens that gives you the most natural vision and widest field of vision possible. If any coatings are required, they will be explained and the option left to you to decide. As you can see there are quite a few steps in this process. Spectacles are a medical device and therefore must be dispensed as such.
Your vision is precious so we go through every step in a detailed, methodical way to give you the best vision possible that helps protect your sight.
