Very impressed with AccuVision's staff! Everyone was very friendly and answered any questions, wheth... er it was for eye health or any doubts about prescription. The tech, Jonathan I think, was very helpful and kind and the Doctor I saw, Dr. Zacharopoulos, was very thorough, explained everything, and made great conversation! The office staff was very kind as well, and made the effort to ensure everything was correct and any contacts rebates were accounted for. One of the staff, Tess I believe, when I called back to order colored lenses was very helpful and checked stock and shipping options so I could have the lenses exactly when I need them. Less important, but also the office itself was nice, clean, and quaint. Very good vibes all around, so all in all, very impressed. Thanks so much team! 🙂

Look no further, your search is over! My wife and I we're quite impressed with everyone at this offi... ce and would recommend them over any other place in town. They answered any and all questions we had and never felt rushed during our exams. Very good "attention to details", I guess, would best describe our encounter with this office. We will definitely be back and have already recommended our brother to them and they took care of him last minute due to him having a piece of debris in his eye. Class act place with class act people!!! See you soon when our glasses are ready!

Stopped by Accuvision Optical on Main street in Dunedin today without an appointment to see if they ... could repair my 90 year old mother's eyeglasses. The receptionist was busy helping another client so I had the pleasure of having Michael appear from down the hall to help me. He was most courteous and did not hesitate to stop what he was doing to put my mom's glasses back together ( the tiniest screw had fallen out of the front that keeps the sides connected to the lenses). I gave him the glasses in a pile and he was back in a flash with them repaired, and he even replaced the nose pieces at no charge. Top notch service with a genuine smile, thank you again Michael for your help today.

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 Dunedin 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.
