MAYopia Day Session 7 - Science of compliance - The importance of a flexible approach to managing myopia
Globally childhood myopia is on the increase. Eye care practitioners are the first point of contact for many parents and patients when learning about myopia and the benefits to long-term ocular health that may come about from a myopia management intervention. Compliance is a key part of success in any myopia management therapy. This presentation will show how improving and continued compliance in myopia management aligns with compliance in dentistry. The presentation will also discuss cases of non-compliance and how technology and improved communication improves compliance.
