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 Longview 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.

Once I was able to get through, my care was amazing. Started leaving messages at 7 am all the way un... til 4 pm. I was about to try a different office when I got a call back at 5:30. She was very apologetic and didn’t understand why no one had called me. Probably a one time issue. Great care once I got in, which was the following day.

I have always had a great experience with Cascade Eye Care. This time it was for me and Dr Julia wen... t out of her way to make phone calls on my behalf, she really made me feel like she cared. I am very grateful to have all of them from the staff to the doctors, have been wonderful with all of my son's exams and his vision therapy, as well as my exams.

I’m 67 and I’ve worn glasses and/or contacts since I was 10. I have insurance which offers their... own eye care but instead, I choose to go to Cascade on my own dime for three main reasons: 1) Their equipment is top-notch & state-of-the-art, 2) I really like Dr. Bill who is kind, funny and efficient, and 3) They offer an excellent selection of frames and considerate service while picking out frames and getting the finished glasses fitted or repaired. Great place!

In the past, I did not have medical insurance coverage. Nevertheless, Dr. John went beyond his call ... of duty and conducted additional tests on my left eye without any additional charges, demonstrating his commitment to his patients' well-being. Thank you Dr. John ☺️.
