Great experience! Dr. Mackanos always does an incredible job explaining her process. I’ve been wea... ring glasses since before grade school and have NEVER had a doctor even attempt to explain my eye exam to me. She does it in a succinct and thoughtful manner, showing her knowledge of the eye and her respect for her patients.

I wish I knew the name of the technician who fits the glasses because I would love to give her a sho... ut out. She helped me to find the first pair of glasses I have ever liked. She was thoughtful, patient, knowledgeable and gave excellent feedback. She really helped me to find comfortable frames and was so great to inform me as to why certain ones might pinch or bother me. I took my 7 yr old daughter there to get her first pair and she got that same fantastic experience. They have so many really pretty frames too! The whole office staff was incredibly kind and welcoming and they all came out to tell my DTR how cute she looked in her glasses. They gave her stickers and let her pick a toy. It was such a positive experience for a kid who was not happy about getting glasses. She left on cloud nine and was so excited to come back and pick up her new glasses. Tanglewood Family Eye Care is awesome! ❤️

Erin is an exceptional eye Doctor. I just changed from a doctor near my older home, and I am beyond ... happy I did. She is very sweet, caring, and very informative. She found an issue in my one eye, due to sun damage. I've already ordered my new sunglasses. She has very up to date machines that really help with seeing your eyes as a whole. Will not go anywhere else, nor should you.

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.
