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 DeWitt 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 had my appointment 2 weeks ago. Received my glasses much quicker than expected. Stacy helped me pi... ck my glasses and did a great job! I love the new frame and I even got sunglasses which I absolutely love. I have been to other eye doctors where I have felt the exam was just not good. In and out in less than 10 mins. Where Dr. Koets explained everything very well. Was very pleased with my experience!

This was my first time at this office and I was extremely happy with the professionalism and kindnes... s my husband and I were shown from the doctor and staff! Dr Dobrzelewski was very thorough with our exams and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. Also, I have worn contacts for many years and this is the only office that took the time to make sure they fit my eyes perfectly and that I was able to see clearly. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be back!

This office is great! I highly reccomend Dr Koets. I'm easily freaked out by eye things including e... ye drops. He is always super kind and explains everything to me. Everyone in the office is super friendly! They have a good selection of lenses as well.

First time at Dewitt opt and they've got my business. I've worn glasses for over 40 years. This pl... ace has a great selection of frames and people who will help you pick the ones that look good on you. The doctor was great. He explained things to me about my cataracts that previous doctors had not.
