Managing Eye Conditions with Confidence & Care

If your child’s glasses prescription keeps getting stronger—or if your eyes constantly feel dry, irritated, or tired—you’re not alone. At Newton Optometry Clinic, we are skilled in managing two of the most common and increasingly disruptive eye conditions in our community: myopia (nearsightedness) and dry eye syndrome.

These conditions may seem minor at first, but without early intervention, they can impact your long-term vision, comfort, and quality of life. Whether you’re booking care for your child or seeking relief yourself, our team provides evidence-based treatment options that work.

The Importance of Treating Eye Conditions Early

Conditions like myopia and dry eye don’t go away on their own—and unfortunately, they often progress. In children, myopia can worsen year after year, increasing their risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration later in life.

Dry eye, on the other hand, can make everyday tasks feel uncomfortable—affecting your ability to focus at work, enjoy screen time, or comfortably wear contact lenses. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic inflammation and even corneal damage.

Myopia Management for Children in Surrey

Myopia is more than just blurry distance vision—it’s a progressive eye condition that’s becoming more common, especially in children. In fact, over 30% of Canadian children are now diagnosed with myopia, with rates continuing to rise due to increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity.

It’s essential to begin treatment early, ideally when a child’s prescription first begins to change. Myopia management doesn’t just correct vision—it helps control how quickly the eye grows, reducing the severity of future vision problems.

Our Myopia Control Treatments

Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are a safe, easy, and effective way to slow myopia progression, especially in younger children. This low-dose medication is applied once nightly before bedtime and has been clinically proven to reduce the rate of myopia progression.

Ortho-K (Orthokeratology)

These custom-fitted contact lenses are worn overnight, gently reshaping the cornea while your child sleeps. By morning, they can enjoy clear vision without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses.

It’s ideal for active children and teens who play sports, swim or dislike wearing glasses. Works best for mild to moderate myopia.

MiYOSMART Lenses

MiYOSMART lenses are designed for children who need glasses but want to slow their myopia progression. Unlike traditional single-vision lenses, MiYOSMART uses D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology, creating special zones that help control myopia while providing clear vision.

Clinical studies have shown that MiYOSMART lenses can reduce myopia progression by an average of 60%, making them a fantastic option for children who prefer to wear glasses.

Find Dry Eye Relief That’s Tailored to You

Dry eye syndrome is a chronic, often underdiagnosed eye condition that can leave your eyes feeling gritty, irritated, red, or fatigued. It can affect anyone—but is especially common among working adults, contact lens wearers, and older adults.

In our Surrey climate and with increased screen time among both kids and adults, we’re seeing more patients experiencing dry eye symptoms than ever before.

Supporting Your Eye Health

We offer a range of pharmaceutical-grade products and therapies designed to treat dry eye at its root cause, soothe symptoms, and support overall ocular wellness.

Our team carefully selects safe, proven, and preservative-free options to help you manage dry eye comfortably.

Warm Compresses

Therapeutic warm compresses are often the first step in dry eye treatment. We recommend using specially designed heat masks that gently warm the eyelids, helping to unblock the meibomian glands and restore healthy tear film stability.

Eye-Drops for Everyday Hydration

We offer a selection of preservative-free artificial tears, ideal for managing mild to moderate dry eye symptoms. Brands we stock include Thealoz Duo drops and gels, Hyabak drops and Systane eye drops.

Omega-3 Supplements for Eye Health

Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in reducing ocular surface inflammation and improving meibomian gland function. We offer high-potency Omega-3 oils and softgels formulated for eye health support.

Benefits of Omega-3 supplements for dry eye include:

Improved tear quality and oil production
Reduced inflammation of the tear glands
Long-term support for overall eye surface health

Our team will guide you on the best dosage and product selection.
