Myopia Management In Austin, Texas

Who is Myopia Management for?

Myopia Management is recommended for any child with myopia. This treatment is effective in slowing the progression of myopia in children and young adults, when myopia is expected to progress faster.

Myopia Management may also be useful in preventing myopia in children or young adults who spend limited time outdoors, engage in excessive near work or whose parents are myopic.

Love Dr. Smith and his staff. I've been a patient for the past three years. They are always professional and friendly. The office is always clean. They do a great job of getting you in and out quickly while still giving you as much time as you need or would like to spend. Thankful to have them close by!
