Myopia Control for Children in Nepal
Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common among children due to increased screen time, reduced outdoor activities, and genetic factors. Without proper management, myopia may worsen every year, increasing the risk of serious eye diseases later in life.
In Kathmandu and worried about your eyes?
Book an eye exam (NPR 400 ≈ US$3) with our English-speaking optometrists in Lazimpat, Boudha or Makalbari — exams by appointment; optical shops open daily 8 AM – 8:30 PM. Card & cash accepted.
At Vision Concern Eye Clinic, we provide professional myopia control solutions designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness and protect your child's long-term vision.
What is Myopia?
Myopia is a condition where distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects remain clear. Children with myopia often squint, sit close to the television, hold books very close, or struggle to see the classroom board.
Signs Your Child May Have Myopia
- Difficulty seeing distant objects
- Frequent squinting
- Sitting close to TV or digital screens
- Holding books very close
- Frequent headaches
- Eye rubbing
Myopia Control Options
- Special myopia control spectacle lenses
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Yes. Many visitors, particularly from Bangladesh and West Bengal (Kolkata), come to Nepal for cataract, retina, or other eye surgery at a hospital and also want new glasses, a general eye exam, or contact lenses at the same time, before or after their procedure. Vision Concern is an optical and eye-examination clinic, not a surgical hospital, so we work alongside hospitals such as Tilganga: we are happy to see you for glasses, contact lenses, or a routine check-up either side of your surgical treatment elsewhere.
No conversion is needed. Eyeglass prescriptions from Germany, France, the UK, the USA, China, Russia, and almost every other country use the same international format, SPH (sphere), CYL (cylinder), and AXIS, measured in diopters. Our opticians read this directly, so you can bring your prescription paper, a photo of it on your phone, or simply your current glasses, and we will use the same values. If your prescription is more than a year or two old, we recommend a quick, free re-check before we make your new pair.
Yes. Above roughly 3,000 metres, UV exposure increases sharply because of the thinner atmosphere and reflection off snow, and ordinary sunglasses (category 2-3) do not block enough UV to prevent snow blindness (photokeratitis). We recommend glacier glasses or category-4 sunglasses with side shields, and can fit these with your own prescription if needed. Vision Concern offers ZEISS polarized, UV400-certified sunglasses with prescription lenses, which we can prepare before you set off on your trek.
