Your Child’s Friendly Partners in Eye Care
Your child’s eye care plays an essential role in their overall health, well-being, and development, which is why we practice at a high level to deliver exceptional care. We do this by adopting the industry’s best, child-friendly technology and implementing it into care. In the event of a myopia diagnosis, our pediatric eye doctors will learn all about your child’s eyes, lifestyle, and interests and create a tailored management plan that caters to their unique needs and favorite activities!
What is Myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent eye condition that affects children and progresses as they age. For myopia patients, objects up close may appear clear, while those at a distance appear blurry. While prescription glasses can correct the vision issues that myopia causes, they won’t treat the condition itself. Our kind pediatric team uses solutions that also correct the issue — such as reshaping the cornea — to help improve their sight and protect their eyes from further damage.
How Myopia Management
Can Help
Although myopia isn’t curable it can be effectively managed by our caring eye doctors. Detecting nearsightedness as early as possible is crucial to creating better outcomes, which is why it’s important to have your child’s eyes checked regularly. This way, your child benefits the most from improved eyesight in the present and future, a slower progression of myopia, and a decreased likelihood of developing certain eye conditions later on in life.

Every child’s needs and goals for their myopia management are different. Our passionate team will listen closely to you and your child to personalize a management plan that will provide them with the sight and eye health protection they deserve.

Testimonials
Patrice SzaboMarch 9, 2023Great experience from start to finish! Everyone is very friendly and cheerful. Dr. Hamilton spends as much time as you need with him, and he's very personable!
Jenny AbrahamMarch 8, 2023Friendly, efficient, and thorough. An all-around good experience!
Pat hMarch 8, 2023I highly recommend them if you need your eyes checked and prescription reviewed. Office is clean, people are nice. The appointment was on time and went well, my prescription was re-evaluated, and I think they zeroed in correcting my prescription better than anyone else ever has, that was very important, and I feel great with the current prescription given to me. They have very nice eyeglasses, types I have purchased before from other places, but I found their prices to be high for the frames I chose and had them price, so I didn't buy any eyeglasses there because of the price.
John SkvorakFebruary 24, 2023My little grandson and I were wrestling as he loves to do and my glasses got the worst of it. I thought the Oakley frames were probably beyond repair and they were not new frames. Unfortunately I was right about the frames. I was very pleased and surprised when they said they would replace the frames and even adjust the prescription slightly in the lenses. Dr Todd Hamilton at the Standish Office definitely went above and beyond to take great care of me and it is very much appreciated!
Karissa McLellanFebruary 10, 2023I have been going to see Dr. Hamilton at the Standish location for a few years and have always had a great experience! The atmosphere is always good and all of the staff treats everyone respectfully. They even took the time to explain my eyeglass prescription so I could price out glasses online and didn’t give me or my husband a hard time about not getting both of our glasses through them. Excellent service all the way around!
sandra steeleFebruary 2, 2023All employees are "excellent" in the Standish office! very happy!
