Close AAO Recap #1 – Updates in Myopia ManagementWhat we learnt from the lectures at American Academy of Optometry (AAO) 2025 annual meeting in Boston, USA.Read Full Article HALT lenses with low dose atropine slow myopia progressionChildren progressing on low-dose atropine showed reduced axial elongation and refractive change after HALT lenses were added to their treatment.Read Full Article Peripheral Defocus Lenses Leave Accommodation UnchangedStable accommodation under myopia control lenses suggests other mechanisms drive treatment effects of peripheral opticsRead Full Article The impact of rebound in myopia controlRebound can be miscalculated in myopia control. This review explains the correct approach and finds minimal rebound for optical treatments, but more for pharmacological ones.Read Full Article Hyperopic reserve linked to AL/CR ratio in early childhoodHyperopic reserve decreases as AL/CR increases in pre-schoolers, highlighting a non-cycloplegic method for early myopia risk screening.Read Full Article Microlens spectacles reduce myopia progression in childrenThis meta-analysis found microlens designs more effective for myopia control than non-microlens or single vision lenses in children.Read Full Article Orthokeratology plus atropine slows myopia progressionAtropine safely enhances orthokeratology to provide more efficacy than orthokeratology alone for low to moderate myopia.Read Full Article Use of RLRL Slows Axial Elongation in MyopiaA meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials showed that RLRL therapy slows myopia progression and axial elongation over one year.Read Full Article Peripheral Optics in Children at Risk of MyopiaDo early peripheral optical changes predict myopia? This longitudinal study explores the role of visual signals prior to myopia onset.Read Full Article Hyperopic reserve and myopia risk in preschool childrenIn Beijing pre-schoolers, low age-adjusted hyperopia reserve was associated with greater myopia risk from parental and behavioural factors.Read Full Article Does a 0.1% loading dose boost myopia control for 0.01% atropine?After 1-yr washout, myopia progression was similar in Danish children treated with 0.01% atropine or a 0.1% loading dose.Read Full Article Is myopia a risk factor for dry eye disease? In this meta-analysis, myopia was associated with higher diagnostic rates of dry eye and reduced tear break-up time.Read Full Article
