Myopia management is our specialty, not a side interest — it's what our clinic was built around.
23 years of clinical experience and an internationally renowned industry leader in myopia. Dr Cheng founded and directs the Myopia Clinic Melbourne, has personally cared for 3,000+ myopia management patients, and has fitted over 2,000 OrthoK patients.

Behind every appointment is our highly experienced clinical support team, specialists in fitting children and teenagers with contact lenses and OrthoK. They've successfully guided thousands of young patients through their very first lens fittings, patiently building confidence and correct technique every step of the way.
Here's how a typical myopia management visit unfolds, from check-in through to your next review.
Check in with our reception team and confirm your child's details before your consultation begins.
Computerised vision testing, eye pressure checks and retinal imaging to build a full picture of eye health.
Your optometrist assesses your child's myopia and evaluates their risk of continued progression.
A detailed conversation about treatment options based on risk, personal preference, compliance and suitability.
Selecting control lenses or glasses, OrthoK design and fitting, or prescribing atropine drops — whatever suits your child best.
We book your next review to closely monitor progression, using axial length as our primary measure of accuracy.
We offer the full range of evidence-based myopia management options, so your treatment plan is built entirely around what's right for your child — not what we happen to stock.
Specially designed overnight lenses gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, giving clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts — non-surgical and fully reversible.
Daily disposable soft lenses worn during the day — no cleaning required, and ideal for active kids who play sport.
Advanced lenses that look just like everyday glasses, using peripheral defocus technology to help slow eye growth while correcting vision.
Low-dose medicated eye drops used nightly to help reduce the rate of myopia progression — often combined with another treatment for extra control.
A quick, non-invasive at-home treatment using low-level red light to stimulate the retina, used as part of a personalised myopia control plan.
Your myopia management consultation uses advanced diagnostic technology to track your eyes precisely and screen for risk — not just check your prescription.
Measures the physical length of your eye to 0.01mm accuracy — a far more sensitive early-warning sign of myopia progression than a prescription change alone.
Maps the cornea's surface in 3D, informing OrthoK lens design, contact lens fitting and your overall myopia management plan.
Recommended if you have high myopia (>−5.00D) or long eye axial length (>26mm) — it is important to screen the peripheral retina for irregularities. Optos captures up to 200° of the retina in a single scan, without dilating drops.
Private billing clinic — Medicare rebates apply to eligible consultations and are processed on the day.
Medicare rebate of $34.00–$67.85 may apply depending on eligibility. New patient, Saturday and same-day family bookings require a $25 per-patient reservation fee, credited to your consultation. A $50 fee applies for late cancellations within 2 business days or non-attendance.
Having these on hand helps us get the most accurate picture of your child's myopia.
So we can process any eligible rebates on the day.
Bring this along if you'd like to claim on any extras cover.
Including any eye drops your child currently uses, so we have a full picture of their current management.
Old prescriptions or previous optometrist records help us track how things have changed over time.
If you've been referred by another practitioner, feel free to bring it along.
What to expect: for younger children, we may use eye drops to temporarily relax the eye's focusing muscles (cycloplegia), giving a more accurate prescription reading. If used, vision may be blurry and eyes more light-sensitive for a few hours afterward.
Your optometrist will talk through all the options above and recommend a plan tailored to your child.
