Myopia management is a rapidly evolving field that depends on ongoing research, emerging technologies, and updated clinical guidelines. By focusing exclusively on myopia management for children and teens, we are able to stay current with the latest studies, refine our protocols as new evidence becomes available, and dedicate our time to monitoring and slowing eye growth during the years when progression matters most.

No. Our clinic is dedicated solely to myopia management. We do not provide routine eye exams, medical eye care, or general vision services.

No. We do not sell standard glasses or standard contact lenses for routine vision correction.

Yes. Children should continue seeing their primary eye doctor for routine eye exams, prescriptions, and general eye health. We focus specifically on monitoring and managing myopia progression and work alongside your child’s existing provider.

We see children and teens at various stages of myopia development, from those at risk for progression to those with established myopia.

The consultation focuses on evaluating eye growth, myopia progression risk, and overall suitability for myopia management. This includes advanced measurements and a detailed discussion of findings and potential next steps.

No. The myopia consultation is complimentary. This visit is focused on education, evaluation, and determining whether myopia management may be appropriate before any treatment decisions are made.

Yes. We offer both in-person and virtual consultations. Virtual consultations can be a convenient option for families who prefer an initial discussion before coming into the office.

The consultation typically lasts between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on the type of visit and the questions being discussed.

Myopia management services are typically not covered by medical or vision insurance. Some vision plans may offer a set allowance that can be applied toward specialty soft contact lenses or myopia-control eyeglass lenses. However, insurance does not cover other treatment methods such as orthokeratology (ortho-k), nor does it cover the ongoing monitoring, advanced measurements, follow-up visits, and clinical management required for proper myopia management.

Yes. Some children are told they are not candidates for ortho-k due to higher prescriptions or higher astigmatism. Our clinic regularly evaluates and manages more complex ortho-k cases, including higher prescriptions that may not be treated in more standard ortho-k settings. A consultation allows us to review measurements and determine whether ortho-k—or another myopia management option—may be appropriate.
