Discussion workshop: Myopia - putting the standard of care into practice

25 Feb 2023
CooperVision

The WCO resolution advises optometrists to incorporate within their practice the standard of care for myopia management, which shifts from simply correcting vision to managing the condition, and includes public education and early, frequent discussions with parents that explain:

• What myopia is

• Lifestyle factors that may impact myopia

• The increased risks to long-term ocular health that myopia brings

• The available approaches that can be used to manage myopia and slow its progression.

This session will explore these elements of the resolution through three cases: a pre-myope, evaluation and measurement in routine examination, and a progressing myope, and look at some of the tools available to eye care professionals which will enable the implementation this standard of care in everyday practice.
