Myopia Management FAQs
Myopia management uses certain treatments and technologies to slow or even halt your child's myopia progression. Our myopia control program in Pleasanton is unique as we have the latest technology and experience to ensure your child's vision remains stable and healthy for years to come.
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.
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.
For optimal results, myopia management should be started as soon as possible. That said, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.

EyeTX – Dr. Christopher Prough
I made three appointments about a week in advance for myself and my ... Show Moretwo children, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to get in ahead of our scheduled appointment time.
Before the appointment, I received three separate letters in the mail, one addressed to each of us, all containing the same information about potential out-of-pocket costs if insurance coverage was not applicable. I called the office to clarify, and during that conversation, we confirmed that one of my children was under five. The doctor we were initially scheduled with did not see children under five, so the office rescheduled all three of us for later that day with another doctor.
Dr. Prough was very good with both of my children. He was patient and willing to work around my one-and-a-half-year-old's reluctance to participate or focus on him. I felt that the necessary checks were completed without making the appointment unnecessarily difficult.
Even the eye dilation went surprisingly well with my youngest. She did not have a crying reaction to the drops. I appreciated that the appointment itself had not left her overly irritated or upset beforehand, which I believe helped make the experience easier for her.
Overall, we had a fairly painless experience, and I appreciated Dr. Prough's patience and flexibility when working with young children.
