Optometry Times’ Post

As eye care providers, we recognise that myopia has reached epidemic proportions globally. The International Myopia Institute estimates that by 2050, nearly 5 billion people will be affected by myopia, with 1 billion suffering from high myopia. This has significant implications for planning comprehensive eye care services, including managing myopic-related complications and preventing vision loss among those with high myopia.* That's why we're thrilled to welcome Jagrut Lallu, founder of New Zealand's first myopia control clinic, to the show. In this special episode, Jagrut and our host, Michael Nasser, discuss critical topics surrounding myopia and how to integrate myopia management into your optical practice. Tune in as they dive into: *The Correlation Between Myopia Control and Ortho-K *Key Learnings from Running a Myopia Control Clinic *New Innovations in Ortho-K and Myopia Management *Integrating Myopia Management into Optometry Practices *The Business Impact of Myopia Management *The Future of Myopia Management Jagrut Lallu, who also serves as the World Council Of Optometry Myopia Ambassador for Asia Pacific and International Myopia Institute Myopia Ambassador for New Zealand, is at the forefront of helping practitioners deliver quality care and spread awareness. So, if you're currently offering myopia management services or planning to, this episode is for you.

It’s #MyopiaAwarenessWeek! HOYA Vision Care has teamed up with BHVI to motivate Eye Care Professionals worldwide to transform awareness into action. There’s a common misconception that single vision glasses can weaken children’s eyes—leading many to believe that nothing can be done to delay the onset of myopia or slow its progression. This is not true. While myopia isn’t reversible, its progression can be managed or even halted. Join us from May 13th to 19th, 2024, for Myopia Awareness Week to help elevate awareness about the global impact of myopia on children and explore the effective treatments available to manage its progression. Act now—together, we can address the increasing prevalence of myopia.
