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 Aurora 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.

I've been here a few times with my dad for follow ups with his cataract sugery. His usual Doctor is ... Van Dan and he is fantastic! Very transparent and kind. We saw Dr. Barkey once as well and she was great! They both provide quality care and answer all of our questions without judgement. Ginny did all the pre testing and intake and was on par with the excellent service and level of care. Overall from the Admin to the Docs, I've been very impressed and would recommend for quality eye care service.

They answered all my questions thoroughly so I understand and unlike a some other places i didnt feel rushed at all. I didn't walk out of there with more questions then I went in with.
