Myopia Management FAQs
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.
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.
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.
For optimal results, myopia management should be started as soon as possible. That said, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.

For the last 6 months or so, I have been having trouble with my right eye. It just ACHES on occasion... Show More. I went to a Doctor of Optometry in Ft. Collins, who referred me to a clinic in The Republic of Bouldah.
Well, I made that drive (Twice!) in the course of 10 days, because the OD in FC *thought* she saw a problem with my retina.
To make a long story short (yeah, I know . . . too late!), there was NO problem. After cold calling Dr. Matthew Skrdla, mainly because of 350 5-star reviews on Google, I was able to get in today, Monday April 20th.
Dr. Skrdla is an OD as well, in an office in The Landings. His office has been there for around five years, if I remember my conversation with "Zoey" correctly.
He took all the time he needed to look at my eyes, moving me from specialty machine to specialty machine, designed to look into the depths of my eyes, if not my soul.
In the end, he came up with several versions of exactly WHY my eye might be aching. I asked him to tell me in layman terms what they were, but even his "dumbed down" version was more than I can follow. Not really, but it is certainly more than I can repeat.
After the exam, Zoey took over the process, showing me different frames for lenses. As a first-time customer, as she said, they offered me a 40% DISCOUNT on my first pair of glasses. The same discount will apply to the second pair as well, when *if* the first pair works out. She gave me a time frame to buy the second pair with the same discount, which, as I recall, was 90 days. I certainly felt as if it was plenty of time to evaluate the first pair.
It will take a few weeks to get my new glasses in. In the meanwhile, I will make do with my 1.75 diopter "readers", which have gotten me this far.
As it turns out, my right eye has an astigmatism, and BOTH eyes need 2.25 diopter correction lenses! There was more to it than that, but THAT is a good beginning.
Zoey will be in touch when it's time to move forward with my new eyes. I can hardly wait!
