A number of interventions to slow the progression of myopia are currently being used in clinical trials and front-line clinical practice, including optical options and pharmacological preparations. This lecture with discussion will cover the research background which underpins the current developments in myopia management strategies. The session will also discuss the relative efficacy of myopia management interventions, and will set the scene for the many remaining research questions in this very interesting field of clinical work.

Learning outcomes:
