In the wonderful world in which we live, practitioners and patients are riding a wave of excitement regarding myopia management. At my office, we look to many methods for management from orthokeratology to vision therapy to atropine to soft multifocals. Additionally, we like to work alongside parents and children to better understand the environmental and genetic factors influencing myopia.
So, what are you doing about myopia management? If you have not given it much thought in the last year, it is time to revisit the topic. Evidence is continually coming out about the beneficial effects of treatment. I would encourage you to go back and review some of the amazing articles written in last month’s Contact Lens Spectrum about methods of myopia management. The disease of myopia is progressing, and it’s time for each of us to progress in our knowledge and treatment of it as well.
