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 Exton 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.

During my annual eye exam on 5/21/25, my O.D. [and part time super sleuth], Dr. Jillian Penney, of C... Show MoreRH Vision found a hole in my retina not previously seen / nor reported. Dr. Penney , working together with Dr. Ward and the team at Chester County Eye Care Assoc were fabulous. The two EXTRAORDINARY customer service teams were able to make room an appointment for me with one of ChesCo Eye Assoc premier Retinal Specialists, Dr. Michael J. Ward for 1:30. For context, the hole was discovered at about 11:45. Dr. Ward and his team were wonderful to work with, just as Dr. Penney’s team had been! Dr.Ward et al, were Laser-focused on my wHOLE problem [puns intended] Listened intently, not easy with my vocal cord paresis weakened voice They worked as “Fast and Furious” as excellent medical care delivery allowed, Dr. Ward confirmed the hole, explained the options, likely cause and ramifications if left untreated. It was a no-brainer. Off to the laser room I went (much to my wife’s surprise) seeking treatment that quite likely would be saving my vision, especially compared to a do-nothing-decision. In about 5 minutes (though it felt more like 15!), Dr Ward had lasered the hole closed! By 2:30, I was on my way home with one less hole in my head. PHEW, make that a double PHEW for me please. As one of my wise beyond-her-years daughters astutely noted “that was better and faster service than a drive thru …” FOR SURE! Vin Diesel and Paul Walker would have been mightily impressed, I am certain! Fingers crossed none of you ever gets to enjoy so much fun but, just in case, it’s very comforting to know there are still people and organizations that think like this, act like this and deliver results like this!

My sincere gratitude! J P FOOTNOTE: size is IN THE EYE of the beholder. To wit, A “little hole” is what happens to the proverbial “you”, no matter the actual size, ANY extra holes in MY head are MAMMOTH!’ 😂🤷‍♂️🤣
