Optometry Today (OT), in partnership with CooperVision and the AOP, are pleased to provide this webinar.
The lecture outlines the importance of slowing myopia progression and how selecting the right intervention – whether spectacles, pharmacological options or contact lenses – can maximise treatment outcomes throughout a child’s myopia management journey.
