As the prevalence and severity of myopia continue to increase with each generation, the responsibility falls to optometrists to educate paediatric patients and their parents on the importance of myopia control. Just as essential as myopia control promotion, is ensuring that the information we provide is evidence-based and best suited for each patient. This session will provide an overview of the most up-to-date treatment options available in Australia, discuss how to identify the most suitable mono- or dual-therapy for your patient, and how to measure and monitor ‘success’.
Learning objectives:
- To gain a comprehensive overview of the myopia control treatments available in Australia, and how to pick the right treatment for your patient.
- To learn the expected efficacy of each treatment, how to gauge your patient’s treatment effect, and to identify when a patient might need to consider dual therapy.
