Optician is liaising with Aston University to encourage readers to take part in some new research aiming to address the question of myopia control is just a fad based on limited science or an imperative for modern eye care?

As has been patently obvious from even a glance at this magazine over the past year or two, attempts to influence the progression of myopia against the backdrop of ever-increasing prevalence of the condition have been the focus of many CET and clinical articles. As the subject gains wider public recognition, a good knowledge of this subject is likely to play some role in all of our working lives for years to come.

Professor James Wolffsohn, Associate Pro-Vice Chancellor and Professor of Optometry in the optometry department of Life and Health Sciences at Aston University, is keen for Optician readers to help to develop a snapshot of what is being practised out there. As he states, ‘There has been a growing academic interest in myopia management over the past few years, but there has only been patchy information on what is happening in clinical practice.’
