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 Northeast Colorado Springs 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 went to the Abba on Nevada and Brittney helped me get my glasses adjusted, even though I didn't bu... y them there. It's so helpful since they are right around my house. I can run over on my lunch break. She took all of maybe two minutes to do my glasses and sunglasses.

My experience with other eye care was amazing. Ethan was extra amazing... he helped me with my paper... work.. he was super understanding even though I was all over the place with my three kids. They took care of me and my family with by far the best i have ever been treated at other eye doctor places. Everybody was super pleasant and professional.
