It’s time myopia management formed a part of essential eye health for children.
This year, we’re asking eyecare practitioners everywhere to make myopia management a part of their day-to-day routine for child eye health.
From ophthalmologists and optometrists to eyecare practitioners; you and me! Everyone involved in improving vision care can help to battle the myopia epidemic.
And it starts with making myopia management mandatory in the practice.
So get involved!
Get online, spread the word, and prepare your practice, frontline workers and yourself to educate and treat patients with the latest treatments and preventative measures in myopia management.
