Myopia Management (Nearsightedness Control)

Pediatric-Eye-Exams

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is increasing rapidly in children and teens. Higher myopia prescriptions are associated with a greater risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal disease, early cataracts, and glaucoma.

At True Eye Care, our myopia management program is designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness, not just correct vision.

Why Myopia Control Matters

As myopia progresses, the eye continues to elongate, increasing stress on the retina and optic nerve. Slowing this progression during childhood and adolescence helps protect long-term eye health and may reduce the risk of vision-threatening complications in adulthood.

Evidence-Based Myopia Management Treatments

We offer several clinically proven treatment options and tailor each plan to your child’s individual needs.

Stellest™ Spectacle Lenses

Stellest lenses use H.A.L.T. technology to slow myopia progression while providing clear, comfortable vision. This option is well-suited for younger children or families seeking a simple, glasses-based solution.

Myopia-Control Soft Contact Lenses

Myopia-control soft contact lenses include daily disposable options designed to slow nearsightedness progression. MiSight® 1 Day soft contact lenses are the first FDA-approved daily disposable lenses shown to slow myopia progression in children ages 8 to 12 using ActivControl® technology.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Orthokeratology uses custom-designed overnight lenses to gently reshape the cornea during sleep. This allows for clear daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses while helping manage myopia progression.

Low-Dose Atropine Therapy

Low-dose atropine eye drops are a well-studied option for slowing myopia progression in children. These drops are typically used nightly and monitored regularly for effectiveness and eye health.

Hear from Our Patients

This company is very organized. Scheduling was easy online but I could tell by listening to the front desk person that it was easy to call and schedule as well. Paperwork for the eye exam was online and also easy. The eye exam was not rushed as I'd had in other places and really felt listened to about the issues I was having. I then realized the selection of frames and lenses were quite well laid out and a good mix of styles. The person helping me pick out frames was knowledgable and very helpful in trying to find a style and material that fit my life. I would very much recommend them for all parts of the experience.

I don't even wear prescription eyewear, and these folks were a tremendous help - I had a pair of cheap readers that needed some basic repair (literally a missing screw!), and they very kindly addressed my problem and treated me like an actual, paying customer (even though they didn't charge me a cent) Super-friendly, professional, going above & beyond (even for a walk-in like me) - I can highly recommend this place based on the stellar customer service alone. Many thanks again!

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Lohmeyer and his staff. I’ve been a patient for five years. Always a pleasant check up experience. I recently experienced a corneal scratch. Painful and disorienting. His team was extremely helpful in working me in for the emergency appointment. Dr. Lohmeyer has a very reassuring bedside manner in an emergency. He diagnosed and treated the situation quickly. I could not be more appreciative.

I’ve been to many eye doctors and this is the first time I’ve actually felt heard and understood about my vision concerns. Dr. Lohmeyer and staff were kind and intentional by making sure my concerns were met. Easy to make appointments and those appointments didn’t feel rushed. I am moving from the area but will continue to come back here as they really are the best!

Our experience at True Eye Care is always amazing! Dr. Lohmeyer and the whole staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. They are great with my kids and I trust them implicitly to give us great eye care!

I really enjoyed my doctor and the staff. My doctor actually took the time to tell me in detail what was wrong with my eyes and how we could easily correct my vision. The gentleman who helped me pick out my lenses spend a lot of time describing what my options were as a veteran and how they could help. Everyone seems very relaxing and happy to be there which made it Comfortable for me to ask questions. I was very lucky to find this business and will continue to go to them

No notes. I always struggle to find good eye doctors and i’ve never seen better in my life. They were patient, kind, and used my correct pronouns without me even telling them what they were! Don’t look elsewhere!

My first experience was excellent! From the welcome greeting when I arrived, the demeanor of the tech, the personal communication and knowledge of the doctor and the wonderful manners of the women who delivered my contacts it was a top level experience. The team is welcoming, knowledgeable and professional.

The staff is so friendly and efficient and Dr. Lohmeyer is an exceptional optometrist recommending the best contacts I’ve ever worn. They have great in house pricing as well for contacts and lenses to make the best use of your vision benefits and out of pocket costs.
