Back to basics on axial length measurement
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.

Understanding the HOYA MiYOSMART spectacle lens performance
The HOYA MiYOSMART was the first of the new generation of myopia control spectacle lenses, with evidence for slowing myopia progression by at least half. Learn more about efficacy, the lens design, visual outcomes and more.
Five things we know about MiSight 1 day
The MiSight 1 day clinical trial is the longest-running soft contact lens study among children, and is now reporting seven-year data. With questions explored including efficacy, cross over from control group to treatment and discontinuation, here’s some of what we’ve learnt along the way.
Driving change in myopia management – Q&A with Elizabeth Lumb
In this Q&A Interview, Optometrist Elizabeth Lumb reflects on the evolution of myopia management in the past five years through two ‘lenses’: as CooperVision’s Director of Global Professional Affairs, Myopia Management, and through the very personal experience of her now 12-year-old niece, Maddy.
What topography data do I need to fit orthokeratology lenses?
Orthokeratology fitting to children is increasing in frequency worldwide, due to its volume of evidence for myopia control. Learn what data inputs are needed and how to best use your topographer for accurate ortho-k lens design.
Connect the dots: understanding the SightGlass Vision DOT spectacle lens
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.
The contrast theory: a new approach in understanding myopia
The contrast theory in myopia development and control is based on links between retinal cone expressions, genetics and myopia. This is distinct from peripheral defocus and simultaneous defocus theories and underpins the new SightGlass DOT 0.2 spectacle lens for myopia control. Learn more here.
Digital eye strain in kids
Digital eye strain is becoming more common in children and teenagers. The symptoms of asthenopia can be due to dry eye, binocular vision dysfunction and glare sensitivity – learn more about each of these, as well as guidelines to manage the risks.
NaturalVue Multifocal contact lens – Q&A With Dr Carolyn Lederman
Dr Carolyn Lederman, ophthalmologist from the United States, explains how she prescribes and manages myopia patients with the NaturalVue Multifocal 1 Day contact lens in her practice.
Is there a dose response in myopia control?
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.
