We have reached a stage where progressive myopia is no longer just a refractive state, but is now considered a modifiable risk factor for the development of eye disease and associated vision loss.

This recorded lecture will explore the reasons why the World Council of Optometry, European Society of Ophthalmology and International Myopia Institute are calling for an evolution in the standard of care for myopia management. We will explore what the term “standard of care” actually means and the implications of implementing this new standard for clinical practice. The latest evidence supporting the move to risk-based management protocol will be examined, along with the clinical tools and technologies needed to support evidence-based practice.
