Contact lens fitting for an anxious child
Does contact lens fitting for an anxious child with ADHD seem impossible? Here is an inspiring case that saw success at the end – we add guidelines on clinical approaches with children to reduce anxiety.
Contact lenses
Which is the most appropriate contact lens option? Questions to ask patients and parents.
Myopia controlling contact lenses offer numerous benefits for children. How can you select the most appropriate option, specific to the individual child and their family? Explore these key questions in clinical communication to learn more.
Clinical Leader Case Study: The reluctant child and contact lenses
Commencing contact lens wear can be intimidating for children. In our new Clinical Leader Case Study format, read how Rachael Smith approached clinical communication to overcome reluctance to wear contact lenses.
A monocular myope with coloboma
An 8-year-old child is essentially monocular, due to unilateral high myopia associated with coloboma. The normally sighted eye has low myopia. How should we best balance safety and proactive myopia control in such a case?
Is it myopia progression or early keratoconus?
How would you manage a progressing myope with early keratoconus? In this case, refractive progression of myopia was not just due to axial elongation, and astute repeated measurement of both the corneal curvature and axial length helped with accurate diagnosis.
How should we manage a presbyopic progressing myope?
The myopia history in childhood can influence how an adult myope copes with their correction and even how their vision changes over time. Read more about this case of a 50-year-old progressing myope.
The latest research on orthokeratology: compliance, safety, comfort and combination with atropine
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.
Which is best? Myopia Management for an astigmatic myope
Contact lens options are ideal for higher myopes. What about when they have moderate astigmatism as well? This case discusses the evidence base for myopia control options which correct for astigmatism, along with patient-specific considerations and whether a combination treatment with atropine is needed.
Exploring the limits of myopia control efficacy
Considering even emmetropic eyes elongate, what are the limits of myopia control efficacy? This novel analysis explores the absolute axial elongation of treated and untreated myopes in the MiSight 3-year clinical trial in comparison to previously published models of myopic and emmetropic eye growth. The results indicate a potential limit to the short-term percentage efficacy of myopia control treatments.
Enhancing Near Vision With MiSight 1 day
MiSight 1 day is a dual focus optical design. Does this affect children’s near vision? What can be done to manage any issues with near vision as noticed by wearers? Read more about expectations and adaptation.
