Noel Brennan, clinical research fellow, Myopia Control Platform, Johnson & Johnson Vision, speaks to OT  about the company’s myopia recommendations

The myopia management solution aims to slow myopia progression and axial elongation

The joint venture expects to accelerate the commercialisation of SightGlass Vision’s technology, which aims to reduce the progression of myopia in children

The first in a new family of contact lenses contains the amino acid tyrosine, aiming to correct vision as well as promoting the healthy development of the eye for children and young adults

Developed in collaboration with myopia experts, the Lenstar Myopia system could support optometrists in the early detection of myopia

The optometrist and practice owner has established a new business to support the distribution of the frames

The Villa Vision project will deliver eye health awareness education as well as sight tests performed in a specially fitted mobile eye care van

The challenge is aiming to raise money for the Royal Society for Blind Children and ChildVision

Cheshire and Merseyside, and Lancashire and South Cumbria will be early adopters of the programme, with NHS England and NHS Improvement highlighting opportunities for optometrists

The collaboration will see the development of educational content which will aim to enhance the clinical knowledge and skills of practitioners in managing childhood myopia
