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 Southside 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.

Our whole family loves Dr Joly. She is a fantastic doctor & is professional & takes he time to expla... in things in a way that is clear & easy to understand. We’ve trusted her with our vision for many years. She discovered an issue with my husband’s eye in its early stages & was able to direct our care to a specialist for treatment which saved his eyesight & she always checks it closely during his annual exam to make extra sure it stays gone. She really cares & we really appreciate that. Very nice office & front desk & eyeglasses specialist who helps pick the best frames as well. We reccomend A1A Family EyeCare 100%.
