Is your child squinting at the board? It might be myopia. Myopia — or short-sightedness — is one of the fastest-growing vision conditions among children worldwide. It happens when the eye grows too long, making distant objects appear blurred. Left unmanaged, it doesn’t just affect how a child sees today — it increases the risk of serious eye diseases later in life. The earlier we act, the better the outcome. At Tirone Optometristi, we don’t just prescribe glasses and send you home. We offer a full spectrum of scientifically validated myopia control strategies, personalised for each child: 👁️ Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) — specially designed lenses worn overnight that gently reshape the cornea, correcting vision during the day without glasses or daytime lenses — and actively slowing eye growth. 👁️ Myopia control contact lenses — soft lenses engineered to reduce the stimulus that drives the eye to elongate. 👁️ Personalised monitoring protocols — because every child’s eyes are different, and progression needs to be tracked and managed over time. We’ve been caring for eyes in Sulmona since 1969 — and today, we’re the only specialist in the area offering this level of clinical depth in myopia management. Your child’s vision is worth protecting now.
