We speak to Peter Nijhuis, Division Head Myopia Management Business Division at Menicon about the Menicon Bloom comprehensive system for myopia management with contact lenses, and about three years of experience in the Netherlands with this landmark system.
We asked renowned myopia scientist and educator Professor Mark Bullimore about his paper on this topic, which clearly outlines that the benefits outweigh the risks with myopia control. Learn about why this analysis was explored, an overview of the paper and the take-home message for clinical practice, especially for childhood contact lens wear.
How do A-scan and optical biometry compare? How many measurements should you take and how frequently? Learn about instruments, measurement processes and how to use data on axial length in myopia management.
The SightGlass DOT 0.2 lens presents a new theory in myopia control, with clinical trial evidence of efficacy in children from 6 to 10 years of age. Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) incorporates microdots to modulate retinal contrast; it does not employ defocus as for other optical treatments. Learn more here.
A dose-response is where an increasing amount of a medication or intervention is correlated with a better clinical outcome. When it comes to myopia control, we investigate the evidence for a dose-response with spectacle, contact lens, atropine and outdoor time interventions.
In our Q&A interview format, we talk to Mario Teufl, optometrist from Austria, who explains how he uses the Topcon MYAH in his practice for myopia management – from axial length to topography to dry eye and more.
In our new Q&A format we explore the Gullstrand Refractive Analysis System (GRAS) Module in the OCULUS Myopia Master with ophthalmic optics expert David Kern, from Germany. We also provide you some additional tips and links to further reading on putting this into practice.
You may have left the concept of a ‘model eye’ back in your student days – learn how understanding the ocular power components of the eye can be applied to clinical diagnosis and management decisions in childhood progressive myopia.
Optimizing safety in orthokeratology is crucial for successful patient outcomes. Learn about compliance challenges in children wearing ortho-k and how to manage them, as well as the latest data on safety and rates of complications as reported from clinical studies.
What is the relationship between pupil size and myopia management? As the pupil controls the light input to the retina, does pupil size influence myopia risk or the response to myopia treatments? This review covers atropine’s influence on pupil size, the relationship with treatment zone size in orthokeratology, combination treatments and advice on normal outcomes.
