The Myopia Management Program helping Singapore families protect young eyes in a digital world
If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I wish I could take away the iPad, but school needs it… and so does my sanity,” you’re not alone.
In Singapore, where children spend long hours on homework, tuition, and digital devices, screen time isn’t just entertainment—it’s an unavoidable part of life. But for young eyes, that constant close-up focus can quietly speed up myopia progression (short-sightedness).
And here’s the frustrating part: you can’t realistically cut screens out of your child’s life. The more you try, the more it feels like a losing battle—while every eye check brings news of a higher prescription.
The good news? Myopia control treatment optionshave caught up with the digital age. There are now solutions designed not to fight screens, but to work with your child’s lifestyle—protecting their vision today, and their eye health for years to come.
Why Screens Change the Game for Young Eyes
Too much close-up work—whether it’s on a phone, tablet, or book—can signal a child’s eyes to grow longer. The longer the eye grows, the higher the myopia, and the greater the risk of serious eye problems in adulthood, such as:
It’s not about banning screens completely—it’s about giving the eyes the right support so your child can still do well in school, enjoy their hobbies, and stay protected from the long-term risks of high myopia.
Our Myopia Management Program: Turning Worry into a Clear Plan
Many parents come to us feeling the same way:
“We get a new prescription every year. I feel like I’m just chasing numbers, but I’m not sure if we’re actually helping my child.”
Our Myopia Management Program is built to change that.
Instead of waiting for the next bad news at the annual check-up, we see you every 3 months. This means:
And here’s something parents tell us often: “My child doesn’t listen to me, but when the optometrist says the same thing, suddenly it clicks.”
That’s why these 3-monthly visits are so powerful. They don’t just track vision—they send a clear signal to your child that their eyes are important. The regular, professional reminders help lock in healthy vision habits like taking breaks, sitting further from screens, and spending more time outdoors.
Real Results, Real Families
Take Ethan, one of our young patients. At age 8, his prescription was already -3.00D and climbing fast. His parents joined the Myopia Management Program, combining myopia control lenses with lifestyle changes and regular reviews.
A year later, Ethan’s myopia growth had slowed to almost zero. His parents said the best part wasn’t just the numbers—it was seeing Ethan remind them when it was time to take a screen break.
Who This Program Is For
Our Myopia Management Program is designed for:
Whether we use MyoCare, MyoSmart, Stellest lenses, Ortho-K lenses, or a combination, the goal is the same:
To give your child the freedom to live their life—school, sports, screens and all—while slowing down myopia and protecting their future vision.
Reframing the Screen Time Conversation
We believe the goal isn’t to wage war on screens—it’s to balance them. Think of it like food: banning sugar entirely is unrealistic, but managing portions and pairing it with good nutrition works.
With the right mix of outdoor time, healthy screen habits, and scientifically backed myopia control solutions, your child can thrive in a digital world—without sacrificing their long-term eye health.
