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.
This case discusses how blood glucose levels can influence refractive error, and details a fascinating case of a young adult who has been aphakic from childhood. Despite a highly hyperopic refraction, she is diagnosed with axial myopia. Does she need myopia control?
Many orthokeratology-related adverse events are due to poor compliance and hygiene processes. This case demonstrates the importance of patient discussion and provides guidance on key steps to promote safety in orthokeratology wear.
The majority of parents are unaware of the importance of myopia intervention. What can we do when parents insist on myopia undercorrection for their child? In this case we cover the communication approaches, and also consider the parents’ point of view to achieve the best possible outcomes for their child, as our patient.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, governments imposed home confinement and school-based learning was the normal. Has this caused more myopia? In this clinical case, the unique environment of lockdown is explored in view of myopia management outcomes.
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.
Commencing contact lens wear can be intimidating for children. In our new Clinical Leader Case Study format, read how Rachael approached clinical communication to overcome reluctance to wear contact lenses.
When an occasional wearer of single vision soft contact lenses expresses keenness for orthokeratology, what discussions are necessary to increase potential for success? How do you move parental understanding from myopia correction to control? Keyur Patel shares a clinical case of this situation.
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?
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.
