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 Chagrin Falls 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.

The office staff is very friendly and efficient. Doing the paperwork online is very nice and saves ... time in office. Dr. Mackanos is super nice, explains things well, she takes her time you don’t feel rushed at all. She makes sure all questions are answered. I took my almost 5 year old daughter for her first eye exam and she was so good at talking to her and including her in the conversations and explained everything she was going to do to her before she did it. I’m so happy we finally found our new family eye doctor!
