Putting Myopia Management Standard Of Care Into Action
In 2021, the World Council of Optometry (WCO) passed a resolution that publicly declares support for myopia management as standard of care. Since then, CooperVision has supported the WCO to empower eye care professionals to put this into action, with a multilingual online resource launched and more being added throughout 2022.

Clinical Leader Case Study: From pre-myopia through to myopia control with contact lenses
Myopia management starts with identifying pre-myopes and commencing the discussion with parents, so that future myopia control strategies can be successfully recommended. In our Clinical Leader Case Study format, read how Indie Grewal approached parent communication to smooth the way for eventual myopia control contact lens fitting.
Clinical Leader Case Study: When parents are keen for myopia management
Communication in myopia management can be difficult, but not always! In this confidence-building Clinical Leader Case Study, read how Lynne Fernandes approached clinical care of these two myopic brothers.
Adult-onset myopia: measurement and management
Myopia which onsets in childhood usually stabilizes in the early twenties. How should we manage adult-onset myopia and progression? This case investigates factors, diagnostic measurements and management of adult-onset myopia.
Considering the individual in myopia management
How can you improve your success and strategies in myopia management? Considering the individual’s family situation and risk factors is key to providing the ideal solution that will ensure suitability and compliance.
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.
Monocular Myopia Management: unilateral and anisometropic myopia
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.
Managing unilateral myopia
Unilateral myopia can present a challenge to both myopia correction and control choices. In this case study, learn about which interventions have evidence for myopia control and reducing anisometropia, as well as the considerations for monocular versus binocular correction and treatment.
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.
