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 Pawtucket 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.

Having been a pt here for many years I know Dr Kaplan and his staff are very professional, knowledge... able and friendly. Today I saw this taken to another level, when I called for a vision concern. Andrew had me come in immediately for an exam despite the fact that it was 10:25am and they close at 12. I was greeted with a friendly disposition and had preliminary vision test done by an equally professional yet friendly face. Dr Scarpanito took an extraordinary amount of time with me and provided me with an extremely thorough exam. With an answer and treatment in hand I went to finish up my visit and pay my copay, where I was met with Andrew, who was very gracious and kind despite it now being well past closing time. Thank you all ! You are truly a testament to your profession!
