Not a normal condition

My-iClinic decided to open a myopia clinic in response to a lack of available services for children. It expected the clinic to last a month but has been operational since January 2019. In preparation for opening, the team started reading around the topic and connected with other myopia clinics around the world.

John Bolger, consultant ophthalmologist and director of the north London ophthalmology clinic, explains: ‘We decided that if nobody else was going to do it, we had to do it. We felt obliged to. It’s grown enormously and we have patients, not just from the local area and from London, but from all over the country and even from overseas. We’re the only clinic that’s really offering the comprehensive range of myopia treatments for children.’
