Myopia management, started early
Nu-Sight Opticians in Aylesbury offers a range of treatments tailored to manage and slow down myopia progression, guided by corneal topography and axial length measurement.
What is myopia and why does it matter?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common eye condition where distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects remain clear. This occurs when the eye elongates too much, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of on it.
For many, myopia can worsen over time, a process known as progressive myopia. Left unmanaged, it can increase the risk of serious eye health issues later in life, including glaucoma, cataracts and retinal detachment. Managing myopia early on helps to minimise these risks.
Who is it for?
- Children whose short-sightedness is getting worse
- Parents concerned about their child’s progressive myopia
- Families wanting accurate tracking of eye growth over time

Common questions
