The world-first Myopia Management for the Practice Team certification course empowers practice managers, optical assistants, dispensers and trainees to answer parent questions and upskill, with a microlearning format designed to suit busy days.
Myopia researchers have clearly explained that myopia prevalence is growing and that every diopter increases eye health risks.
An explosion of innovations in myopia control treatments in the past few years now sees various effective spectacle, contact lens and pharmacological options.
The International Myopia Institute and numerous optometry and ophthalmology organizations have published guidelines and set standards for taking clinical action.
Myopia Profile continues to grow our suite of professional learning and clinical practice resources to support skills, communication and action.
A 2022 survey showed that 43% of young progressing myopes are still prescribed single vision. If we don’t act, we are staring into a ‘myopian future’ in which myopia presents an ever-growing threat to the vision, eye health and quality of life of current and future generations.
