Dr. C saw me a few months ago on a whim. I was newer to the area and didn't have a new eye doctor y... et. I woke up on a Saturday and couldn't open my eye. Drove down the hill and stopped at the first eye doctors I saw. Walked in hopeful, and the woman at the desk said she would ask the doctor if he could squeeze me in. He did, within 30 minutes I was in and out with a script for my infected eye! Dr. C was wonderful and so kind! My entire family now goes to him. I found everyone in his office to be kind, caring and friendly! All over and excellent experience.

The s... taff, and the doctor were all so kind and nice, took care of the problem...I really feel like they went above and beyond and I will definetly be back to see them for my contacts and glasses from now on. Edit: I brought my 6 year old daughter here for her first eye exam, and they were amazing with her. She loved the glasses she picked out too.

My family has been a patient of Dr. Chris's for almost 10 years. All four of my family members have... been fitted with glasses, and three of us have been using contacts for many years. We have always been happy with our prescription. When one of my sons decided to transition to contact lenses, Dr. Chris and his staff were very patient and helpful. Dr. Chris has always answered any questions I have; a couple times when I felt concern, he returned my call in a timely manner. Highly recommended doctor and practice.

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 Murrysville 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.
