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 Southeast Colorado Springs 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.

These people are wonderful. They are efficient and have a low waiting time. Also the best part is as... a adult medicade does not cover glasses on the exam. Abba has a program that allows you to select from a small selection of frames and then they cover your basic lenses and bifocals if needed. This was such a blessing for me. I am forever thankful for the way they took care of me and made sure I got what I needed to be able to see clearly. Thank you Abba for taking care of the less fortunate like we are paying customers.

Great experience, highly recommend. At an annual eye exam, the doctor was able to find an anomaly an... d sent me to a specialist to follow up. Thankfully it wasn’t anything major but so glad he flagged it.

They were very friendly, efficient, helpful and thorough. I am also extremely impressed with how qui... ckly the turnaround was to receive my glasses! I had my appointment on a Tuesday and was told that it would take about 2 weeks to receive both my glasses and sunglasses and maybe the same timeframe for my glasses that they had to turn over to the VA. By that Saturday, I had a tracking number (USPS informed delivery, I get emailed daily) saying that my pair from the VA will be delivered Monday AND that Monday morning I got a call from ABBA saying that my glasses were ready. By the time I went to pick them up that afternoon, my sunglasses had also been there ready for me to pickup! Everything just went so smoothly and I have zero complaints.

I had a very positive experience, largely due to the exceptional service provided by the staff. They... were notably attentive and courteous, demonstrating a genuine concern for my needs and inquiries. Their patience was evident throughout my interaction with them, ensuring that I felt comfortable and unhurried in expressing any questions or concerns I had. Furthermore, the staff's knowledge was impressive. They were well-prepared to address my queries, offering detailed and understandable explanations. This not only instilled confidence in the services offered but also contributed to a more enriching experience. Overall, the entire experience was pleasant, marked by a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The staff’s professionalism and the quality of service significantly enhanced my satisfaction. I look forward to future interactions and would highly recommend their services to others based on my experience.
