Communication between the Eye Care Practitioner and Parents of the Myopic Child
Journal Title: Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This article is based on a poster presented at the International Myopia Conference which took place in Rotterdam, Holland in August 2022. The poster and the article were both self-funded. Due to lack of space on the poster not all possibilities were noted therefore only some were chosen. In a follow-up article I will investigate other options available on the market. I have no financial interest in any of the products mentioned in this article. My main objective is to give the eye care practitioner a set of tools to help him illustrate to the parents the reason why their child’s myopia should be treated, and not only corrected, and the importance of trying to slow its progression.
