The eye is an important sensory organ and it is through vision that children acquire their knowledge for life.

The children's eye check takes about 30 minutes.

Vision loss in children
Are you unsure about whether your child's vision is developing normally or would you like to have their eyes checked at an early stage?

Make an appointment with us for a child eye check. Depending on the age, we check the visual functions and visual performance of your offspring in a playful way. Afterwards, we discuss the result with you.

As we work closely with ophthalmologists and orthoptists, in the case of abnormalities it is possible for us to refer your child to a competent specialist and ophthalmologist of your choice with a detailed report.

Early detection of myopia is very important.

Myopia management 
For progressive short-sightedness in childhood and adolescence (6-18 years), we offer solutions tailored to your child to slow down the short-sightedness.

As certified MIYOSMART experts, we use the MiYOSMART lens.

Why myopia management?
A tendency towards defective vision is already noticeable in the child at the age of 6. Depending on genetic predisposition, eye growth should be checked regularly even in young children.

Untreated myopia in children can lead to permanent vision problems and significantly reduce quality of life. An increase in myopia means much more than just stronger lenses.

Due to the growth in the length of the eye, the dioptric number increases. Various measures are in place to slow down the growth in length. The risks for eye changes increase with age.

Excessive elongation of the eye, as with severe myopia, increases the risk of developing retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract or macular degeneration by up to forty times.

Possible measures:

  • The new MiYOSMART lens with innovative D.I.M.S. technology (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments). This single vision lens from HOYA can slow down the increase in myopia. 
  • Multifocal soft contact lenses and night lenses (Ortho-K) are other options. 
  • In combination, treatment with atropine in cooperation with the specialised ophthalmologist may also be useful.
