When cleaning orthokeratology contact lenses, is rubbing necessary? Would rubbing the ortho k lens cause warpage or deformation over time? Read more to find out how colleagues responded and what the research tells us.
Soft multifocal contact lenses for myopia control can provide a great option for children with high myopia and astigmatism. In this case study we review what options are available, including toric and sphere-plus-other options, materials and replacement schedules.
When atropine isn’t working as a monotherapy, is it valuable to combine it with a myopia controlling contact lens? Could switching from atropine to a contact lens be the better option? In this post on the Facebook discussion group, a colleague sought opinions on combining atropine and MiSight contact lenses.
This research summary describes the major multifocal contact lens (MFCL) research studies for myopia control, and what we still need to learn. From the first studies only a decade ago, to wearing time, commercially available lenses, the influence of BV, novel designs and more, this comprehensive review will get you all the way up to date on MFCLs.
What do you do when your patient doesn’t respond to your low-dose atropine treatment? This case explores the nuances in navigating management when atropine doesn’t work as well as you might expect.
You may be ready to cease treatment, or the patient has done so of their own accord. Then you observe that the rate of myopic progression accelerates again – a myopia rebound effect. When does this happen? Can you avoid it? What should you consider doing in practice?
The much anticipated BLINK study has just been published! Hot off the press, we examine the results comparing +1.50 and +2.50 centre distance MFCLs, explain the study and describe how these results compare to other myopia controlling contact lenses.
Can centile growth charts for axial length growth be used to predict success with a myopia control intervention? The three-year MiSight data was modelled against population data as a step towards validated normative data.
Learn about trends and attitudes with contact lenses for myopia control and how practices are changing in some world regions but not others.
