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 Mission 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 brought my 8 year old son in for an eye exam along with his toddler sister, and everyone was ackno... wledged and communicated with. The team was communicative, informative and gentle. They let my concerned toddler be right by her brother in case she needed to comfort him (she thought his eyes were broken after seeing his [healthy] blood vessel photos). Another thing worth noting was it didn't take forever. Office was easy to find, paperwork was easy. We'll be back to see Dr. Dakin and his team next year for our annual exam!

I’m always impressed with the Custom Eyes team. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely... caring, making each visit a positive experience. Booking appointments is easy, and I’m able to get in promptly without having to wait months, which I really appreciate.

This place has definitely improved ever since Dr. Brill retired. I felt like he never took my issue�... ��s seriously and would always be passive aggressive towards to me and would always make me feel less than because I’m a women 🙁 Dr. Dakin on the other hand has been the best he’s young and definitely seems more advanced and knowledgeable in dry eye! Their new team is very welcoming and bubbly!

My experience at this location was great, the staff was kind, patient and friendly. I know I walked ... in looking like a hot mess, couldn't get my insurance to cooporate, kept dropping stuff, and overall was a mess but they were all so sweet, patient, and helpful.

I came to this place (under different management/owner) for years. It's Custom Eyes now. The whole t... eam is new. No more receptionist who called me the wrong name for years, no more waiting to be seen for my appointment for 30-60 min, no more waiting for the dr. for another 30 min, no more getting push to buy products/service from them. Seems like the Custom Eyes' workers want to be there. Very quick, friendly, professional.
