The newest myopia controlling spectacles can both correct and control myopia as effectively as contact lens options. How do Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) and HIghly Aspherical Lenslet Target (H.A.L.T.) technology spectacle lenses work? Here we investigate and compare their design, presumed mechanism and comparative efficacy for myopia control, based on published research.
The NaturalVue Multifocal contact lens by Visioneering Technologies, Inc, is a daily disposable contact lens for myopia control. This blog explores the optical profile, proposed mechanism and research evidence for the NaturalVue, along with its application in practice.
提供眼镜校正是初级眼保健的基石之一，近视控制眼镜既可以纠正并控制近视。在这里，我们探讨了当前的近视镜，正在商业化或正在商业化的眼镜镜头，可为此提供经过同行评审的出版物 - 其设计，假定的机制和比较效果。
隐形眼镜对儿童有益的原因有很多，安全性很高。然而，从业人员，父母和年轻患者对儿童CL的服装的脑海中仍然存在障碍。在这里，我们解决了这些经常引用的障碍，目的是支持您关于儿童隐形眼镜的好处和安全性的临床沟通，以朝着从父母和患者那里获得“是”。
Axial length (AXL) has been well established as the critical measurement in myopia control research. The measurement accuracy and link to disease risk make AXL increasingly important in a clinical setting. But what else should we measure in the myopic eye? Does the cornea change as well? Will we end up doing away with refraction? Read more on measuring the whole eye in myopia.
Communicating the reasons, benefits and options in myopia management can be complex. Using pictures in health communications has been shown to improve patient attention, recall and comprehension of information and adherence to treatment. The Managing Myopia Guidelines Infographics are designed to guide you through the process of explaining myopia control using simple messaging and pictures. We explain the four key messages of myopia management here.
Dry eye is a common complaint in general optometry, and can occur in children too. How could dry eye in kids influence myopia management? This blog includes detail on the frequency of dry eye in children; causative factors like allergy, medications, binocular vision and screen time; and how dry eye can factor into myopia control options.
How can you tell if your myopia management strategy has been a success? Our new Myopia Profile ‘Managing Myopia Guidelines’ infographics translate research into practice, providing advice on gauging success by both refraction and axial length outcomes. Given that refraction is universally measured in clinical myopia practice, there is particular emphasis on understanding how much refraction change after a year of treatment indicates whether expected efficacy for that intervention has been attained.
Parents can often ask for advice and help with managing screen time for their children. Here we provide a summary of government and health organization screen time guidelines for children, as well as resources for eye care practitioners to use in communication with parents.
Assessing accommodative function, such as measuring near lag of accommodation, is a vital component of understanding the myopia profile of your patient. In this post Dr Kate Gifford describes how to measure accommodation lag in practice.
