I love this Drs. Office. They were so thorough and explained everything including my prescription f... or my eye drops. I also brought my 6 year old daughter and they were great with her. The Physician’s assistant I think her name was Anitia was amazing. She sat and talked to my daughter and made her feel very comfortable while she was getting her exam. All around they have a great team and made our visit great. The girl by the back office took time in picking out several pairs of glasses for me to try on. I got a pair I love. She also explained the breakdown of our receipt. I highly recommend Carolina Forest family eye Drs office. We definitely will be returning for all our exams in the future.

I had not passed the eye test at the DMV and needed an exam on short notice. I began my search for e... ye doctors and this office had very good reviews. I called them and was able to get an appointment the next day due to a cancellation. Boy, am I happy with my choice. Carolina Forest Family Eyecare provided exceptional service to me. The front desk, my eye technician and Dr Lane were outstanding by every measure. They were all very courteous, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and professional. I received an extremely thorough eye exam using the latest in technologies to evaluate the health of my eyes and my eyesight. I am so glad I found them and am now a permanent patient. I highly recommend them.

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 Myrtle Beach 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.
