What is it about?
Overall, 41 internationally recognised myopia management specialists express their consensus position on the practical procedures required to prevent or postpone the onset of myopia and limit myopia progression. Decision flowcharts show the proposed methodology for the essential screenings, examinations, and interventions. The algorithm seeks to offer helpful guidance in selecting and creating a personalised, efficient myopia control plan for each child. It encompasses a wide variety of modalities, from myopia prevention to interventions that slow the progression of myopia, and it integrates the most recent research findings.

Why is it important?
Myopia prevention and reduction its progression are critical because the number of children with myopia is growing exponentially worldwide and will become the leading cause of blindness if no action is taken.
