Webinar: Assessing efficacy in myopia control
Myopia management can be confusing for clinicians. Which treatment is best? How can one compare the different treatments? Are quoted percentage values really meaningful?
This lecture will lay out an evidence-based approach to understanding treatment efficacy. The following elements are used to generate the interpretation: axial length is the preferred metric for assessing progression; efficacy follows a pattern of absolute rather than percentage reduction in progression; there is an initial ‘boost’ of efficacy during the first year; three-year efficacy is reliably double one-year efficacy; there is a 15% reduction per annum in axial elongation in untreated myopes, and also in treated myopes after the first year of treatment. These details are put together to form a comprehensive approach to assessing efficacy in myopia control.
Learning outcomes
- Practitioners will identify how to use an evidence-based approach for assessing myopia management treatment efficacy.
