My journey into myopia control
This blog retraces my personal journey into myopia control and explains why I believe that this is the most important development for optometry that has taken place during my career.
Multifocal contact lenses
A Novel Soft Radial Refractive Gradient (SRRG) contact lens for myopia control
This experimental design was primarily based on the peripheral retinal blur theory, that E. Smith developed,1 providing an incremental, progressive, refractive change from the central visual axis to peripheral retina, reaching a +2.00D add plus power at about 35 degrees of retinal eccentricity and achieving about +6.00D of addition plus power at the edge of the optical zone (4mm semichord diameter).
In Optika Forma – Customising the perfect myopia control contact lens
Myopia control is complex. But for me, to be successful it needs to be performed with a customized lens geared toward the individual.
The ‘next big thing’ for myopia control – an industry perspective
After attending the BCLA Myopia Management Day, I got to thinking about how industry will respond to the conference highlights. There was much discussion about new optical designs which may emerge in the coming years.
Does the risk of fitting OrthoK in kids outweigh the myopia control benefits?
Scientific data increasingly points towards contact lenses as our best option for myopia control. Does the risk of orthok outweigh the benefits for kids?
