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 Sweetwater 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.

The office called several days after my visit to see how I was doing because of an issue I had with ... my eyes. Dr.Murray has been amazing: kind, professional -ethical—He did not charge me for services that I did not need. I heartily recommend this group. The BEST in the area!

I've been seeing Dr. Murray for around 25 years. My husband and I both see Dr. Murray. I don’t kno... w if our son still goes to PVS. I saw Dr. Pippo before Dr. Murray. Both doctors are great. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly. Susie is fantastic! I used to wear special contacts and always an excellent job on them. The frames and lenses are high quality. Glasses come in fairly quickly. I also feel like family. I enjoy my yearly exams because that's when I visit everyone. Not too many of the original staff left. Some have been there so long they've retired. Loved Doreen, Ann, Phil, and Minnie when they worked there.

They are quite possibly the friendliest and most helpful vision services staff I've encountered in a... ll my years of needing vision correction. I'm glad I took a chance with them and I look forward to doing further business with them in the future.

Service was amazing! Loved my glasses. Dr.Reed was super nice and helpful. Definitely recommend to a... nyone looking for a new pair of glasses!!

My family of 5 came to this practice because it was recommended by others. I carry on the recommenda... tion. While every practice and profession will have those who felt their level of service inferior, the employees have really worked with my family. We all five have corrective lenses, including both glasses and contacts. They worked to find the correct contacts for me when I needed bifocals. Dr. Pipo straightforwardly explained what I would be gaining or losing with bifocal vision in contacts. He engaged my then preteen sons in conversation to make them feel comfortable. We have been with this practice nearly 8 years. Again, while no practice is perfect every day as no one is, this practice strives to serve, from the front desk to doctors (we’ve seen three different ones) to opticians.

Outstanding service,staff is out of this world.Great prices. I've been coming here for over 35 year... s!. When you walk in you're treated like family. Well worth the trip if you need to get glasses or contacts!

From the moment I walked in (for my initial appointment), I felt welcomed and well cared for. From t... he receptionists, to the technicians, the optometrist and the optician... all were focused on my needs. The technician who worked with me was new (only been there a month), so there were some bumps in that regard; but she knew what needed to be done and was looked in on regularly by her supervisor. Throughout my time with Dr. Pipo, I felt exceedingly reassured that the health of my eyes and vision were of the utmost importance to him. On a number of occasions, he told me that if I had any issues with my eyes: "floaters," stinging or dry eyes, or if there were changes in my vision, not to hesitate to call the office. I'm looking forward to being a regular patient here for many years to come!
