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 Centennial 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.

My wife went to this office on 9/10 due to a minor eye injury and Dr. Barkey and her staff did a won... derful job not only reassuring and calming my wife, but with the actual handling of the injury. Everyone here seems compassionate and competent. My wife told me she will be coming here from here on out for her eye exams.

Everyone one the staff there is extremely friendly, kind and helpful except the woman who helps you ... get your glasses. She did not want to help me because my insurance didn't cover my glasses and she would have had to wait til I got paid on the first. So she went into her office and got on the phone. Did not offer to help me pick any out to try on or anything. Everything could have been taken care of and then held til the first when I got paid and I like nice glasses like MK, those were my last pair that broke a year ago so she lost out on a big sale.
