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 South Denver 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.

I always look forward going to the eye doctor at eyes of the world! They make the exam quick and eas... y but still take the time to get to know you on a personal level, it feels like visiting with old family friends they always remember a face when you walk in the door. And when it comes time to choose your glasses you can put your full trust into the gang upstairs! They will tell you what looks good and what doesn’t suit you it’s like playing dress up. It turns an experience that can be stressful and overwhelming into a time of laughing having fun and finding your perfect fit. As long as I have an option to go to this location I will. They’re incredible!
