Activity Outline

Back in 2016, Professor Brien Holden described myopia as a crucial global health issue and forecast that 50% of the world’s population will be myopic by 2050 and 10% will have high myopia.

Australia is in a strong position to tackle the challenges of myopia management, thanks to its highly skilled eye care professionals, a comprehensive range of myopia management  technologies, and a well-supported (albeit not perfect) Medicare-funded eye care system. But we need to act now.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand why proactive myopia management is essential
  • Realised the many options for managing myopia and the efficacy
  • Be aware of risk and compliance issues
  • Realise considerations when ceasing treatment
