Myopia Management FAQs

What is myopia management?

Myopia management uses certain treatments and technologies to slow or even halt your child's myopia progression. Our myopia control program in Waverly is unique as we have the latest technology and experience to ensure your child's vision remains stable and healthy for years to come.

Is myopia management necessary?

Myopia is more than just poor vision. Childhood myopia raises the risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later in life, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts. Speak to your eye doctor about the best ways to minimize your child’s risk.

At what age does myopia (nearsightedness) usually start?

Myopia can begin as early as 6 and will usually progress until roughly age 20. The longer it progresses, and the higher the prescription, the greater your child’s risk of sight-threatening eye conditions later in life.

When should my child start myopia management?

For optimal results, myopia management should be started as soon as possible. That said, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.

Recently had my annual eye check-up this week, the exam and check up went well. Wish there was less ... paperwork to fill out each year, too much redundancy of information between forms and too extensive, be nice to checkmark "same as last visit". The eye Dr. did a thorough job with the exam and explained various options and conditions. I was especially pleased with the eye care specialist, "Nikki" who was fantastic in helping me find the right frame and lens options. She is the best, and should get a big raise!
