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 Midtown 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.

Great service!

They were amazing! The front desk staff is super friendly and helpful. I traveled to Nashville for a... conference and left my contacts behind. They were able to work with my primary optometrist out of state to get me trial contacts for the rest of my trip. Thank you!

Ducklo doctors and staff are among the best I’ve ever encountered in my 30 years in Nashville. Dr.... Solomon is my regular doctor and Dr. Ferro treated me when Dr. Solomon was on maternity leave and I experienced an issue requiring diagnosis and referral for a laser procedure. The staff members at Ducklo are always courteous and helpful with any issue regarding my care. At my last two appointments, Twan and Stefon even backed my car out when I was nervous because of my eye issue and the close proximity and angle of the car next to me. I would not hesitate to recommend Ducklo to anyone for their eye care.

Doctor Soloman is amazing! She is kind and can explain what is going on in an easy to understand man... ner. I recommend her services to all my friends and family. Also check out Alisha in the eyewear section, she is so helpful for finding the perfect pair!

I was looking for an ophthalmologist because I was experiencing some unusual issues with my left eye... . They suggested I come in as soon as possible and were able to fit me in within the hour. Dr. Solomon was extremely knowledgable and explained things clearly. I didn't feel rushed at all and she answered all my questions. I would recommend them because they know what they're doing, they are professional, friendly and kind.

After arriving into town without contacts, I called nearly every place in Nashville looking for assi... stance and Ducklo helped me right away before closing on a Friday. Excellent customer service, highly recommended.

Excellent experience. From the initial phone call to set up the appointment to the exam to the check... out process. The entire staff was friendly and put me at ease. A+ experience!

The office staff is really nice, they actually help me pick out my glasses. And my time spent with t... he doctor was quick, but he was precise, listen to any questions I had, and offered feedback. I’ll definitely recommend the office to friends and return in the future.

Ducklo Eye Care was recommended to me by my specialty ophthalmologist. Now I see why. Dr. Solomon is... great,. She's personable, professional, and caring. Whereas most optometrists feel their job is over once they write the prescription, Dr. Solomon spent time with me discussing lenses And frames that would suit my lifestyle. This was so appreciated And lacking in so many past experiences of mine. The Ducklo staff are great. They are all nice and caring. My lenses seemed to be a bit expensive, but I haven't bought them in a few years so I'm probably mistaken. Overall, I'm telling my family to go to Ducklo!

Excellent experience. Last appointment of the day, and not rushed even when choosing frames. Every... single person was kind and caring.

Dr. Lavanya Tammareddi was wonderful! I went in as an emergency visit for a pretty bad corneal abras... ion and she was very helpful and took my injury seriously. Nobody at the office made me feel like a burden even though they were super busy and I’m sure my emergency visit messed with their schedule. Thanks to her above and beyond care, my eye healed up great!
