Myopia in Children and DIMS Technology: A Clearer Future for Young Eyes

Children’s eyes are constantly growing and changing and so is their vision. Myopia, or short-sightedness, is becoming increasingly common in young people, but new lens technology offers exciting solutions.

Find out how myopia (short-sightedness) affects children, and how DIMS lens technology can help slow its progression for healthier vision in the future.

What Is Myopia?

Myopia means distant objects appear blurry, while close objects remain clear. It often starts in childhood and can progress as the eyes grow.

Why Myopia is Increasing in Children

Modern lifestyles - more screen time, less outdoor play - are linked to rising rates of myopia. Early intervention is key to managing progression and protecting long-term vision.

How DIMS Technology Helps

At Glass Opticians, we offer DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) lenses an innovative design proven to slow myopia progression in children. These lenses correct vision while gently guiding the eye’s growth pattern, helping reduce future risks.
