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 Vestal 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.

I am giving you a 5 star rating for one of your employees. I have never had any of the girls in the... front who took my money at check out look into my insurance like this woman did. She helped me understand what was covered and explained things perfectly. She took the time. Not only with a smile but knowledge !!!! Her name was Kari. I was so happy when I left. I thought this would be my last appt there. I was going to Visionworks for sure. I’m staying after today’s visit. Loved the doctor I had too!! Kari is a keeper!!! Ty for the great experience

All of my experiences with Roberts EyeCare Associates has been positive. The staff were really helpf... ul and this entablement had the sophisticated equipment that can provide more useful information about the health of your eyes to your eye doctor. My eye doctor was a nice chill guy, and he was very funny. I would defiantly go back since my experience was excellent.

I was very unhappy with the glasses I ordered and wanted a refund , I could not see with them so i w... ent back. They asked me to sit a minute . I’m sorry I can’t remember her name, but she was a very beautiful Asian girl . We talked and I was reluctant to listen but I agreed to go over my glasses and went through the receipt and she rechecked everything on my glasses. Even measured again. She said they did everything right on my prescription and rechecked the fit she said they sat wrong and adjusted them correctly . She was right and fixed them. If you have a problem with your purchase listen to them and before you presume you have the wrong glasses let them recheck. Thank you very much beautiful Girl very professional and helpful. I apologize forgetting her name don’t know if using her ethnicity was wrong. I don’t know what’s correct anymore. But she’s wonderful.

Sigh....I don't even know where to begin. My wife and I had an AWFUL experience at another eyecare ... center. I won't name names, but it was right down the road, and I gotta say: after receiving care there, my wife's Vision just doesn't Work(s). The long story made short, we waited a month for what turned out to be a telehealth appointment, which resulted in an improper Rx for my wife. If you call their office, you are sent to a robot call center, never to the actual brick&mortar place itself. So, customer service was horrendous, non-local, and entirely unethical. Then, enter Roberts. I called, they answered - as in, one of the FOUR front desk receptionists who breathe oxygen and likely drink water to perform homeostasis - to schedule my wife and I. You walk in and this place is CLEAN, with wooden ACCENTS and I might even dare say to be somewhat FANCY! But, guess what? They take my insurance. Wow. I have been nursing a scratch on my eye for some time, and my wife was experiencing frequent headaches as a result of her Robot Glasses from...the place down the road. Dr. Bakari Samin attended us in the most professional and friendly manner imaginable. No...one cannot actually imagine such levels of professionalism, this man reached deep into his soul to help us feel heard, reassured, and ultimately cured; heard? I'm telling you, come here for the service. I see a lot of 1-2 star reviews on here that only talk about the prices of eyewear. Anyone who is shocked by retail prices in 2024 have been living under a rock! Take your Rx and go elsewhere, they get it! But come HERE for the service. I asked them if they have a robot and telehealth, and several people there said they came to Roberts to work from other Works of Vision because they DON'T do that complete nonsense. I guarantee if folks wrote reviews based on their experience rather than eyewear prices, they would be 5 star reviews. From Dr. Samin to the wonderful receptionists at the front desk, my family was able to regain the sense of dignity lost last year when we were "taken care of" (more like "Taken Out") at....the other place down the street. Again, not naming names, but if your Vision Works, you should be able to see it from Robert's window, and you'll know where to avoid. I think we found our lifelong eyecare team here at Roberts, which has been serving the southern tier since 1911. You can tell based on the decor they are proud Binghamtonians, and hey, so am I. Thank you.
