Myopia Management in Okemos

Myopia management uses certain treatments and technologies to slow or even halt your child's myopia progression. Our myopia control program in Okemos is unique as we have the latest technology and experience to ensure your child's vision remains stable and healthy for years to come.

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.

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.

For optimal results, myopia management should be started as soon as possible. That said, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.
