Generation Next brings down the MC hammer

Myopia control (MC), or myopia management (MM), used to be seen as experimental, off label and confined to the darkest reaches of the specialist contact lens world. No more.

Results from MC trials show consistent success across a range of designs both in contact lenses and spectacle lenses. More importantly, a plethora of manufacturers now offer CE marked products providing the potential for MC while offering corrected vision to the wearer with little or no adaptation. Most importantly Generation Next is, by definition, the patient base for the treatment.

The basic principles employed in communicating MC to parents and youngsters were spelled out recently by Ian Cameron (Optician 30.04.21) but MC is a fast moving environment.
