Myopia is a vision condition in which you can see objects clearly near you but becomes blurry when far away, which is also called myopia. Nearsightedness occurs when the shape of the eye – causes rays to refract (bend) incorrectly. When you have noticed that you have the same condition or your child has this condition, look for myopia control and management as soon as possible. Myopia Profile is a resource for helping eye care practitioners to control myopia progression based on clinical practice, including:

Clinically focused infographics
A study was developed by the three departments, the American Academy of Optometry and the Centre for Ocular Research and Education, and the University of Waterloo printed research about myopia management infographics. The research was designed to support clinical communication with parents and provides a connection for practitioner understanding in clinical myopia management.
Protect children from Myopia!
A study shows protecting children from myopia, which is the parent-facing side in helping with clinical communication, such as:
- Visual environment advice
- Myopia control options
- Kids wearing contacts
- Understanding the importance of myopia management
Visual environment advice is very significant for all Myopia and pre-myopic kids. Explaining myopia control efficacy helps a lot, and you will be suggested some options. The benefits of wearing contact lenses for kids mean safety.
If a myopic child wears a contact lens, safety is a benefit to get. Instead of worrying about blurry objects in the distance, contact lens helps correct the distance to keep the child from risk. It will serve as a warming or making the child see things and objects normally. The importance of myopia management helps better understand the risks of myopia and the myopia control benefits for lifelong eye health.
Myopia management in practice
The study features practitioner-facing information for clinical references, such as myopia journey, what to prescribe, follow-up schedules, and gauging success.
Myopia journey talks about the factors for a faster profession. Faster progression of myopia in children is expected. Earlier onset at the age of 9 leads to faster progression and the risk of high myopia. Additional factors fuel myopia in no particular order of effect, including:
- Family history of myopia
- Time spent outdoors
- Specific binocular vision disorders
An assessment of the risk of myopia onset and progression has been done, and it was proven effective.
Gauging success in myopia management
How to tell if the myopia management strategy is successful? The Myopia Profile managing myopia guidelines’ infographics are downloaded and available in 8 languages. So, you can download it for free as it is designed to translate the research into practice. One key gap in putting myopia management into practice is gauging success in the used strategy.
