I have never given a review before but after my appointment with Dr. Kristi Iverson I felt a review ... with 5 stars was a must. Walking into the office I was impressed with the the number of glasses there were on hand from designer to affordable. My appointment with Dr. Iverson was impressive. She is very kind and professional. I had multiple test done and she explained the tests and shared the results with me so I had a full understanding of what was going on with my eyes, When choosing glasses there are so many to chose from. With the help of her assistant the process of finding a pair was quite easy as she knows glasses and faces. I have never left any doctors office being so impressed, Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Cannot recommend them enough!

Purchased safety glasses with a different style frame then previous year and just could not see corr... ectly out of them. Mandy sent them back to have adjustments made to the lens position and I was still unable to wear them. Staff was very helpful and we decided to try the same style frames that worked last year. I was very happy with the results after all the time put in by everyone. Thank you, Dan s.

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 Hugo 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.
