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 Concord 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.

Fantastic service from entire staff, all the way from booking the appointments over the phone for my... family of four to my husband having to go back in this afternoon to have his lense material changed, and they threw in $50 off for the inconvenience without my husband even asking. All staff were friendly and accommodating at all of our appointments! We look forward to working with them in the future!

Wonderful team! I always get the best service each and every time I come in. I commute almost 40 min... utes to this particular location, Tesson Ferry, because of their staff and because they are literally the only ones who can get my glasses just the way I need them. I’ve been to other places and will continue to come back, even though they are out of network because they get the lens right every time. Thank you Tesson Ferry Crown Vision! You guys are the best and I hope you guys don’t retire anytime soon because you all are so genuinely nice, funny, and put so much care into my glasses.

She takes the time to answer ... all my questions, clearly explains each fee and gives feedback on which frames work best with my face structure.
