If you’ve been told you’re short-sighted, or diagnosed with myopia, you’re not alone. Myopia is one of the most common vision conditions globally, and it’s on the rise, especially among children and young adults. But as more people seek alternatives to lifelong prescription increases or invasive surgery, a new question arises:
Can you improve short-sightedness naturally?
At Microprism Vision in Melbourne, we believe that with the right tools, personalised care, and a whole-body approach, natural vision improvement isn’t just possible, it’s already happening.
What Is Short-Sightedness (Myopia)?
Short-sightedness, or myopia, means you can see objects up close clearly, but distant objects appear blurred. This happens when the eye grows too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
Common signs of myopia include:
- Difficulty seeing road signs or classroom boards
- Squinting to see distant objects
- Eye strain and fatigue after looking far away
- Headaches related to poor visual focus
While traditional treatments like glasses and contact lenses can correct the blur, they don’t address why the condition developed, or how to slow or reverse its progression.
Why Is Myopia Becoming More Common?
Several lifestyle factors are contributing to the rise in myopia, including:
- Excessive screen time and close-up work
- Lack of outdoor time and natural sunlight
- Postural strain from poor ergonomics
- Unbalanced visual habits (e.g., eye dominance, reduced blinking)
These factors highlight a simple truth: myopia isn’t just a problem with the eyes, it’s a reflection of how we live and use our vision.
Can Myopia Improve Naturally?
While mainstream optometry often assumes that myopia only worsens with age, holistic optometry challenges that narrative. At Microprism Vision, we’ve seen firsthand how natural vision improvement techniques can reduce dependence on prescription lenses and even reverse mild to moderate cases of myopia over time.
Here’s how:
1. Retraining the Visual System
Your eyes are deeply connected to your brain, posture, and nervous system. When the eyes are taught to function more efficiently, through customised lenses, vision therapy, and behavioural changes, they can start to relax and return to a more balanced state.
Microprism™ lenses, developed by Dr Michael Christian, are specifically designed to correct subtle misalignments in the visual system and stimulate more natural eye-brain coordination. Over time, this helps the eyes work smarter, not harder.
2. Addressing Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms
Our approach involves a full assessment of your vision and lifestyle<. This includes looking at:
- Screen time habits
- Lighting conditions
- Eye teaming and tracking ability
- Nutritional support for eye health
- Emotional or neurological factors affecting visual performance
By treating the cause, not just the prescription, we can begin to reverse the patterns that contribute to myopia.
3. Combining Therapy With Prevention
Natural vision improvement is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a personalised process that includes:
- Functional vision therapy
- Quantum Photo Somatics™ therapy
- Custom-designed lens prescriptions (not just for clarity, but correction and rehabilitation)
- Postural and environmental adjustments
Most patients see gradual improvements in clarity, focus, and reduced reliance on glasses, especially when supported with consistent follow-ups.
Is It Safe to Try Natural Myopia Treatments?
Absolutely. All natural interventions at Microprism Vision are non-invasive, drug-free, and backed by years of clinical experience. Our team is led by Dr Michael Christian, a highly qualified optometrist and researcher with more than 20 years of experience in behavioural and holistic optometry.
Every patient’s progress is carefully measured and adjusted to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term vision health.
