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 The Landings 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.

This staff did such a great job getting me new glasses and contact lenses! They had fantastic commun... ication from beginning to end and the staff is very friendly. Linda was great to chat with while I had my exam, and Kelly did an awesome job getting my frames fit and sent in. I also received both the contact lenses and frames sooner than the estimate they gave me. This is the place to go in Fort Collins. I highly recommend going to Foothills Vision and eye care!

Very good optical office.

Foothills Vision and Eye Care have provided me with excellent service for the two sets of glasses th... at I have purchased in the last two years. The frame selections are good and I was able to find what I was looking for both times. Kelly is excellent at making whatever minor adjustments are required to fit my specific nose / ear issues with my earing aids, etc. Since I am virtually "blind", I ask her to take my photo with my iPhone so I can see what the frames look like on me. This is the best solution for me. I wish I had thought of it year ago !
