The stage is set for Myopia Action

  • Science has
    shown the WHY

    Myopia researchers have clearly explained that myopia prevalence is growing and that every diopter increases eye health risks.

  • Industry has
    provided the HOW

    An explosion of innovations in myopia control treatments in the past few years now sees various effective spectacle, contact lens and pharmacological options.

  • Public health advocates
    have said NOW

    The International Myopia Institute and numerous optometry and ophthalmology organizations have published guidelines and set standards for taking clinical action.

The time to act is now
