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 Lions Head Condos 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 received excellent patient care at my first visit and was greeted by a very friendly staff. The cu... stomer service was top-notch when ordering new glasses and contacts, they went above and beyond for me to accommodate my needs. I feel very supported by the team here, thank you Vision 1st!

Vision First has been my optometrist for years. Dr. Hoover is very kind patient with me when it come... s to choosing which lens I can see thru better. “Is it 1, 2 or 3?’… A, B or C?’ 😂 He is also patient with all of the questions I have. The technician, Jennifer, is also patient with the uncomfortable testing and helps you relax. Claire Escamilla is also patient with me when choosing frames. I have always stuck with the same frame style for 20 years because I have a round face. But 3 years ago she helped me break out of my comfort zone with a new style that fits my face shape and they were adorable!! And now THAT brand will probably be with me for the next 20 years. 😂 (unless Claire finds a new style that helps minimize my round face) Claire also helps me work with insurance and helps me find what I need within my budget. Thanks you guys! I would definitely recommend Vision First to anyone!

These guys are really great. I scheduled an appointment in a pinch a few years ago in a pinch and ha... ve been coming back ever since. They’re friendly and extremely helpful. Jeff is so nice and responsive. I think I’ve seen a different doctor each time but I’ve enjoyed all of them.

Jennifer Jones is an absolutely wonderful person and an outstanding professional. She consistently g... oes the extra mile to help me (everyone), always ensuring everything is taken care of with precision and care. Her dedication and expertise truly set her apart - she is simply the best. I couldn't ask for a better experience and highly recommend Vision 1st - hands down because of Jennifer !!!!

I had a fabulous experience with Vision 1st after trying them coming from another provider that left... a lot to be desired. Dr Hoover was thorough and explained his process really well. The staff went out of their way to make my current glasses as workable as possible while I waited for my new set. I highly recommend these guys!
