An educational myopia management resource platform for eye care professionals across the world has been developed by the World Council of Optometry (WCO) and CooperVision.
The Navigator tool explores mitigation, measurement and management of myopia and each section contained advice and actions to help guide patients and families.
Dr Sandra Block, president at the WCO, said: ‘It is crucial to educate both new and more experienced practitioners, and to expand their knowledge on integrating myopia management in their practices.
'We have made good progress, but there is still work to be done to prompt action worldwide.’
