Start Myopia Evaluation Choosing the Right Starting Point

We offer two ways to begin, depending on your child’s situation and your level of concern.

Most families start with a consultation when there is concern about a child’s prescription changing or progressing. For those seeking early insight or a baseline measurement, a screening can be a helpful first step.

What to Expect

Choose the option that best fits your family's needs:

Myopia Consultation: A comprehensive physician evaluation with Dr. Lichtenstein, including axial length measurement, cycloplegic refraction, and a complete eye examination, with personalized treatment recommendations when appropriate.
Myopia Screening: A technician-performed axial length measurement that helps assess your child's risk for progressive myopia and whether a comprehensive physician consultation may be beneficial. This screening does not include a physician evaluation.
Not every child requires treatment.
If you start with a screening and later schedule a consultation, the $50 screening fee is credited toward the consultation fee.

Myopia Screening (Axial Length Measurement)

A simple way to get clarity before committing to a full evaluation

Myopia Screening: $50
(includes axial length measurement)

The $50 fee is credited toward the cost of a full myopia evaluation should you decide to proceed.

A focused visit to measure how your child’s eyes are growing using axial length—an important indicator of long-term risk.

This visit is appropriate if you are:

• looking to establish a baseline
• unsure if treatment is needed
• interested in early detection

After measurement, we review your child’s results and explain whether a full evaluation is recommended.
