Lecture: Myopia management in children and young people
This lecture will explore the critical importance of managing myopia in children and young people, addressing why early intervention is vital for long-term eye health. We will discuss common causes of myopia, who should oversee its management, and what families can expect from standard treatment approaches. The session will also outline the available management options, including lifestyle adjustments, optical solutions, pharmacological treatments, and light-based therapies.
Learning outcome(s):
Practitioners will describe a systematic approach to myopia management and co-relate with clinical findings, relative to their scope of practice (s.7)
Practitioners will be able to communicate effectively with patients and parents about myopia management and lifestyle options, relative to their scope of practice (s.2)
Contact lens opticians will recognise the need for myopia management, describe a systematic approach to management options and communicate this effectively with patients and parents, relative to their scope of practice.
