Please reach us at info@eyestation.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is myopia and why does it need to be managed?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, causes blurry distance vision and often worsens as children grow. Managing it early helps reduce the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.

At what age should myopia management start?

Myopia management can begin as early as age 6 or when early signs of progression are detected. The earlier the intervention, the better the long-term outcomes.

What is axial length and why is it important?

Axial length is the measurement of the eye’s growth. Monitoring it helps track myopia progression more accurately than vision tests alone.

Is myopia management safe?

Yes, all recommended treatments are clinically proven, safe, and widely used by eye care professionals around the world.

Can myopia be cured?

There is no cure for myopia, but management can significantly slow its progression and reduce long-term risks.

How often should my child be seen for follow-ups?

Most children are monitored every 6–12 months, depending on the treatment plan and how quickly their myopia is progressing.

Does insurance cover myopia management?

Coverage varies. We recommend checking with your provider. We offer direct billing and payment options to make care accessible.

Will my child still need glasses?

The goal of myopia management is to slow progression, it doesn't necessarily eliminate the need for vision correction.

What happens if myopia is left untreated?

Untreated myopia can lead to high myopia, increasing the risk of eye diseases like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
