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 Mount Scott - Arleta 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 was laid off and now I’m on OHP and they don’t normally take it but they made an exception for... me so I don’t have to find a new optometrist until I find a new job. That made my life so much easier.

Admittedly I’m an easy patient with a relatively consistent prescription throughout the years, but... I do really enjoy Foster Vision. I used to live very close to it and have since moved away, and every time I go to a different optometrist that is closer to me I dislike it for one reason or another and wind up making the drive down from Vancouver to go back to Foster Vision. They seem like they take what I say into account more than other doctors I’ve worked with, which tends to result in glasses that better suit my needs (that don’t wind up giving me headaches/hurting my eyes/making me dizzy/etc like prescriptions from other doctors do). I will say that this most recent time I went was my first experience having a computer do most of the “eye exam” work and the doctor doing very little (like one minute to confirm what the computer said?) which was a little off putting. We will see if the automation of their exams changes the accuracy of their prescriptions this time around.

I'm so glad we found Foster Vision! Dr. Tong knows her stuff, and I have been fitted by two technici... ans for eyeglasses (once a couple years ago and once more recently). Both times I felt completely at ease, and loved how they just knew what would look good on my face. I have a pair of red glasses I wouldn't have considered w/out their help, and am so happy with the choice! You will be in good hands here.
