Myopia Management is recommended for any child with myopia, to reduce or even stop this myopia from worsening. This treatment is most effective from ages 8 to 20 and even adults. Myopia management may even prevent myopia from starting in children or young adults who are at high risk of becoming short-sighted, but do not yet have myopia.

Slowing down the progression of myopia is vital to reduce the risks of your child suffering serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachments, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

We met Emily, who is new to us as the intake/tester gal and she was professional and pleasant. Great new addition to the already wonderful team. Dr Lappan was, as usual, on time and complete in her exam. I had seen frames that I liked online so they ordered them for me to try. All in all definitely a five star experience.
