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 Rigden Farm 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.

Everyone is so friendly and attentive! I had a great experience with all of the receptionists. The t... ech who did my pre exam stuff was so so sweet, I wish I got her name. I wish I got the name of the woman that helped me with glasses measurements as well — she was so kind and funny, both of these ladies deserve recognition! Dr Amy was awesome — very informed and happy to share her knowledge with me. She also found things about my eyes that had not been noticed by prior eye doctors. I believe the changes she made to my prescription are going to significantly improve side effects I’m experiencing that I didn’t even know COULD be fixed by this. I also came in with VERY busted and broken glasses, to the point of embarrassment lol, but I felt no judgement from the staff. A little thing but it made a big difference to me! Been going to this office for a couple years now, love it!

Big thank you to the entire team at Mountain View Eye Specialists! They truly go above and beyond to... look after your best interests—and what really sets them apart is how much they genuinely care about their patients. I’m so glad I chose them for my eye care. Highly recommend this place if you want to be treated like more than just a number. Thank you again! 👓👏

I have had such a wonderful experience with Mountain View! They were able to see me immediately for ... an emergency visit on Saturday. All staff have been so helpful and nice. Dr. Ricke was extremely informative and kind and he gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. They have made an otherwise very difficult eye emergency a much more pleasant experience! I will be going there for my future regular eye exams.
