I absolutely love this office.
I kid you not, my appointment this morning was the highlight of my day. All the staff are so kind, patient, and personable. For something so difficult to decide, like buying glasses, and intense eye exams, they make it so enjoyable and comfortable.

I was very happy this time with my grandsons visit.
They were wonderful with him. He is 9 years old very good with kids. Explained everything in detail about his exam everyone was super friendly and his glasses were ordered!

Understanding Your Options For Myopia Management
Myopia management can help slow your child’s worsening nearsightedness while supporting clearer vision and healthier eye development.
Depending on your child’s age, prescription, eye health, and daily routine, we may recommend any of the following treatments:
- Specialty contact lenses
- Orthokeratology lenses worn overnight
- Multifocal soft contact lenses
- Atropine eye drops
- Prescription glasses
- Lifestyle guidance, including more outdoor time and healthy screen habits
Dr. Mays and Dr. White will evaluate your child’s eyes, talk with you about your concerns, and recommend the option that best fits their vision needs, comfort, and long-term eye health.
Our Approach to Myopia Management
During Your Comprehensive Evaluation
Your child’s visit begins with an in-depth eye exam to assess their vision, eye health, prescription, eye development, and any signs that myopia may be progressing.
Dr. Mays takes time to learn about your child’s symptoms, daily habits, family history, and visual needs before discussing treatment options.
Creating A Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your child’s exam results, Dr. Mays will recommend a myopia management approach that works for their age, lifestyle, prescription, and long-term vision health.
You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and learn about your options, so you can feel confident moving forward with treatment.
Ongoing Monitoring & Vision Care
Myopia can change as your child grows, so we’ll schedule regular follow-up visits to track their progress and evaluate the effectiveness of their treatment.
If needed, we can adjust your child’s care plan over time to support healthier vision and reduce the risk of future eye concerns.

What Parents Ask Us Most Often
Is myopia hereditary?
Yes, children are more likely to develop myopia if one or both parents are nearsighted.
Factors like screen time and limited outdoor activity may also influence the way myopia develops and progresses.
Are specialty contact lenses safe for children?
When prescribed and monitored by an optometrist, specialty contact lenses are considered a safe and effective option for many children.
We’ll determine whether your child is a good candidate and teach them how to properly wear and care for their lenses.
