🎙️ Podcast Replay Alert! 🎙️ Join us as Dr. Liandra Jung delves into the latest research and management strategies for myopia, with a special focus on early detection and treatment. 🧠👁️ At UC Berkeley and in private practice, experts are working on a groundbreaking database of eyes to better understand when myopia starts and how soon it can be treated. In this episode, we tackle common misconceptions about myopia in children, such as the myth that age of onset is the main predictor of severity. Discover why undercorrecting children's myopia might actually lead to faster progression, and explore effective management strategies like contact lenses and progressive prescriptions. 💡 "Kids can be great at following routines, especially when educated properly," says one of our speakers, highlighting the importance of good compliance and parental involvement in successful myopia management. We also discuss the impact of screen time on children's vision and the intriguing idea of an "optometry arcade" to make eye care fun! Remember the 20/2 rule: 20 minutes on screens, 2 hours outside for healthier eyes. 🌳📱 Tune in to learn more about Ortho K, screen time balance, and how to best support your patient's vision care journey. 👓✨ Watch full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gDGE4y6s #MyopiaManagement #EyeCare #PediatricOptometry #OrthoK #ScreenTimeBalance #VisionHealth
