Soft multifocal contact lens therapy for myopia management involves the use of daily disposable contact lenses. The contact lenses will correct vision and are worn during the daytime. The contact lenses must removed and discarded at the end of the day. The goal of the multifocal contact lenses is to slow the progression of myopia, so close monitoring is required to determine the effectiveness of the lenses. We now have the ability to measure axial length at 6 month intervals. This new technology allows us to accurately track the changes in length of the eye and will be measured twice per year during myopia management treatment.
PROFESSIONAL FEES
Soft multifocal contact lens therapy is not covered by vision or medical insurance. However, your contact lens material allowance may be used. For the first year of treatment, a fee of $1800 will be assessed to cover the annual supply of contact lenses and contact lenses related visits. The fee for treatment subsequent years is $1500 and includes another annual supply of contact lenses.
PATIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
- Attend all scheduled appointments.
- Wear the contact lenses only as prescribed by your doctor.
