How old does my child have to be to begin myopia management?

Children as young as 8 years old can begin myopia management. Your optometrist will help determine if your child is ready. Children who are at risk of developing myopia or high myopia should ideally start before the age of 10 for optimal results. But it’s never too late to start!

Do children with very low myopia need myopia management?

A child with low myopia is an ideal candidate for myopia management because low myopia has a lower association with future eye disease. Taking the ‘wait and see’ approach runs the risk of allowing your child’s prescription to rise as they grow older, increasing their risk of developing serious eye diseases.
