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 Olathe 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.

Dr. Hemphill and his staff have been our eye care providers for 20 years. That speaks for itself.

Exceptional service provided with a personal touch. Dr. Mary Hemphill remembers past visits with my... family and always asking how the kids are doing. During my latest visit, my son, home from college, had a lens pop out from his frames which the staff was able to fix during my appt, to include new screws and nose pads. Thank you, Olathe Family Vision. You truly live up to and represent all of the words in your name.

Lovely staff and an absolute greatest doctor!

I hadn't had new glasses in over a dozen years, and so I really wasn't sure what to expect from a ne... w exam. Both the medical technician and doctor were great, and the the office person went above and beyond to help me find two pairs of frames....I must have tried on 50 pair before I finally decided on the ones I wanted... and bless her heart, she was great through the entire process! And finally... My new glasses were ready for pick up much earlier than expected!

Dr. Hemphill is amazing with kids! My son was in a bad mood and didn’t want to do anything. But he... got him laughing and got through everything he needed to quickly. His patience and creativity is amazing! Highly recommend

Great patient care!

Dr. Wayne Hemphill is the only eye doctor I’ve found whose first priority is what I want with my v... ision as opposed to a doctor ‘fixing’everything.

They make you feel at home, do not rush you in and out. Make sure you have the best testing and glas... ses available.

We’ve been patients for 3 years now and I can’t say enough good things about both Dr. Hemphill�... �s and their practice! They are top notch, caring and compassionate, explain each step during the exam and truly care about their patients. They have gone above and beyond two separate times to remove foreign objects from two of my kids eyes (caked dirt for one & a tiny wood chip for the other). If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Great office and excellent care
- Sep. 18, 2024
Dr. Hemphill became our eye doctor 23 years ago after he saw our now college graduate son for his 3 ... Year Old “See to Learn” Screening. Our son and daughter have always enjoyed his humor and kindness and actually looked forward to their annual check-ups, as did we! We transitioned to his care as well, so over the years he’s seen the WHOLE FAMILY! He has helped my husband and I with some challenging vision situations. It is so comforting knowing he will do everything he can to give you relief and maintain your vision. So grateful!

The Hemphills -- Mary and Wayne -- have always provided a high standard of care.
- Jul. 04, 2024
Both Dr. Wayne and Dr. Mary are so knowledgeable and explain everything during the appointment. Love... coming here- it’s one of our favorite medical experiences ever.
