GSLS2020 Part 3 – Vision lost and Vision saved by Myopia Control
This GSLS 2020 update compares the risk of vision loss with contact lens wear to vision saved by reducing final myopia.
Myopia control efficacy
GSLS2020 Part 2 – The parents, the patients and your practice
Welcome to Part 2 of the news update of the 2020 Global Specialty Lens Symposium, held in Las Vegas. Read on for updates on the risk-to-benefit comparison of myopia control, how to talk myopia successfully with parents and how to integrate myopia control into your practice.
GSLS2020 Part 1 – Teens, Treatments and Treatment zones
The latest from the Global Specialty Lens Symposium 2020 (GSLS2020) on research, intervention updates and young adult myopia progression.
IMC2019 Part 3 – Contact Lens Updates
Announcing Part 3 of 4 of exciting updates from the 2019 biannual International Myopia Conference! You’ll find links to parts 1, 2 and 4 at the end, however read on for updates on OrthoK, MYLO and MiSight!
Why Each Dioptre Matters
We all know that high myopia is associated with higher incidences of retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic maculopathy1. Instigating early, evidence based myopia control in rapidly progressing myopes gives the best outcomes both pathophysiologically and refractively. However when faced with a low, slower progressing myope, or a patient whom has already progressed is there any point in persisting with myopia control?
IMC2019 Part 2 – Axial Lengths and Myopia Calculators
Welcome to Part 2 of 4 fabulous updates from the 2019 biannual International Myopia Conference! Read on for more about predicting axial length growth, refractive growth and translating statistics into real world progression. Mark and Noel’s latest research on understanding myopia control efficacy is described below.
ARVO 2019 Part 1 – The data, the disease and the developments
Part 1 on the Annual Association for Research in Vision & Ophthalmology (ARVO) . The latest findings in Myopia control, management & treatment.
Spectacle lenses for myopia control Part 1: Progressives, bifocals and binocular vision
Are progressive addition lenses and bifocals created equal for myopia control? When do they work and when do spectacles have minimal efficacy? How should we pick which lens type to prescribe, and what’s on the horizon for our non-contact lens wearing young myopes?
What is the point of myopia control anyway?
Why is myopia control important? Is there really that much difference between -3.00D and -5.00D? Why intervention is worth the time, effort and cost.
