Half of children with high myopia have an underlying systemic condition: ophthalmology co-management, best optical corrections, parental education and eye health monitoring are crucial. It’s also important to offer myopia control strategies while also being aware of the limitations of the evidence base. This blog provides guidance on appropriate ocular health and optical management of children with more than 5-6D of myopia.
Using cross-sectional data collected from European population-based studies the authors establish an association between increasing myopia and risk of vision impairment in later life.
Usually myopia and axial length are correlated. What does it mean when your patient has low myopia and high axial length? This case discusses various correlations between ocular and individual parameters and axial length.
How frequently should we measure axial length in myopia management practice, and how should it best direct our treatment strategy? Here we discuss how axial length change is related to refraction and ethnicity, and how to determine whether an axial length change is normal due to emmetropization or indicating myopia progression.
This review covers how well axial length relates to refraction and predicting future myopia, how to measure axial length, its value in orthokeratology and atropine management, how axial length influences a treatment plan and can you practice myopia management without it.
关于使用阿托品进行近视控制的研究信息正在发展。先前的研究表明，0.01％的阿托品是最好的，但新的研究说。在这种临床情况下，从业人员讨论了治疗策略，这些策略与临床珍珠进行实践。
Myopia control treatments can be tapered or stopped when it appears myopia progression is stabilizing.When should you stop myopia control treatments?
Children with more than 5-6D of myopia can require special consideration to ensure safe management of their ocular and systemic health. This clinical case details important aspects of care for the very high childhood myope: ophthalmology co-management, best optical corrections, parental education and eye health monitoring.
