Integration of Myopia Management into a Behavioral Vision Practice: How and Why?

Abstract

It is predicted that half of the world’s population (nearly 5 billion) will be myopic by 2050. There is a large unmet need for myopia prevention in this population. This perspective piece discusses integration of myopia management into a practice that embraces a behavior/developmental vision care philosophy. We outline the 7 foundational steps that have allowed us to develop a successful myopia management practice.
