Myopia Management is a rapidly emerging area of optical practice and, given the spiralling prevalence of myopia globally, has the potential to reshape the role of optometry in public health for the next generation.

This panel discussion will explore the latest developments in Myopia Management especially the soon to be published publication of the College of Optometrist guidance on Myopia Management. Industry experts and representatives of the major professional bodies will share their views on what clinicians need to know and what they need to do in this emerging field of practice.
