How should you best manage children with unilateral or anisometropic myopia? Learn about what drives aniso-myopic development, associations with amblyopia and ocular pathology, and the evidence base for orthokeratology to slow aniso-myopic eye growth.
What amount of axial length growth be expected in myopes versus emmetropes, and how can you tell if your myopia control treatment is working? This important clinical reference provides all this information and more on axial growth in younger and older children, emmetropes and myopes, and even data on typical myopia stabilization.
Managing myopia in presbyopic adults has specific goals in achieving good vision correction and best eye health outcomes. What should we consider if myopia progression is observed? This article explores progression, the ideal optical correction and ocular health considerations in presbyopic myopes.
Orthokeratology has been well established as a myopia control treatment. The newest research in orthokeratology has investigated compliance, safety, comfort and combination treatment with atropine. Here, we’ll bring you the latest knowledge with implications for clinical practice.
Atropine is a treatment for myopia control, but do combination treatments such as with orthokeratology increase the efficacy? Learn about how well it works, which concentration, for whom it works best, side effects, treatment duration and more.
Children, teens and adults with high myopia need special consideration of not just myopia control, but the best type of myopia correction and the importance of ocular health management. Do high myopes progress more quickly? What are the risks and management options?
Which clinical tests are required for myopia management? Here we take you through the recommendations of the International Myopia Institute (IMI) Clinical Management Guidelines Report, with references to several more of the IMI Reports including the latest Volume in 2021. You have everything you need to get started – learn more here.
Growth charts are commonly used in childhood health and are easily understood by parents. When applied to myopia management, axial length growth charts can allow individualized decisions on treatment strategy and efficacy. What charts are available now and how can you use them in practice? Here we explain how to use axial length growth charts from initial diagnosis to treatment strategy and long term monitoring.
When should we start myopia control for a low myope, especially if they have no symptoms? What patient factors should be considered, and what myopia control treatment options are most suitable?
What equipment do you need to get started with myopia management in practice? Here we take you through the recommendations of the International Myopia Institute Clinical Management Guidelines Report, with advice on testing and equipment required. There are also suggestions for how you can get started if you don’t have access to all the equipment described, plus what is ideal and what is necessary for best practice.
