Activity Outline
The short course aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to diagnose and manage progressive myopia. The course offers an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the latest evidence-based optical, pharmacological, and behavioural interventions to appropriately manage progressive myopia. You will be equipped with practical skills to be able to identify individuals at risk of myopia development and progression and develop personalised management plans for simple and complex myopia cases.
Throughout the progression of this course, you will also learn how to critically appraise the literature regarding new therapies, so that you can develop life-long skills to be able to independently evaluate the literature on new therapies as they are introduced.
Learning Objectives
- Identify key risk factors for myopia development or progression.
- Describe the benefits and limitations of current optical, pharmacological and behavioural interventions for progressive myopia.
- Apply specialised ophthalmic technologies and methodologies necessary for appropriate management of progressive myopia.
- Demonstrate knowledge to be able to competently design, develop and revise a management plan for progressive myopia involving optical, pharmacological or behavioural interventions.
- Communicate in an ethical and knowledgeable manner with patients and their parents and/or guardians of the management of their progressive myopia.
