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 Downtown 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.

We had just flown in the previous night and only then realized I had forgotten my contacts. After a ... quick google search, I found Eyetique. When I walked in and told them of my situation, they couldn't have been more gracious and understanding. After taking a Quick Look at my Rx, they helped me find a solution! Wonderful people that genuinely want to help!

I had a great experience at Gateway Eye Associates. I saw Dr. Tocco and his bedside manner was unbea... table. All the staff were very kind and helpful. Also, the office is really nice. It is so sunny and although it is clean, it doesn't have that scary clinical feel. Highly recommend.
