Myopia guidance review - Part 1

College clinical advisers Dr Paramdeep Bilkhu MCOptom and Daniel
Hardiman-McCartney FCOptom MBE discuss the latest updates on
myopia management guidance including the recommendations for
ensuring best practice. Dr Bilkhu, who co-led the guidance
review, also discusses the importance of explaining risks and
benefits as well as how the different management options compare.


"Whether myopia is within your scope of practice or not, you
should make sure that you have the relevant knowledge and can
hold a discussion with patients and their parents about myopia,
how it is treated, the supporting evidence and the costs and
benefits of myopia management. This will help them make an
informed decision."
