Brien Holden Vision Institute calculates myopia

A new evidence-based myopia ‘calculator’ has been developed by the Brien Holden Vision Institute in Sydney.

The calculator would help support clinicians in communicating and educating patients in managing myopia appropriately, it said.

Available as a web tool, it merges individual patient information with different optical and pharmacological treatment options to illustrate the impact on their future level of myopia.

Professor Padmaja Sankaridurg, head of the Myopia Program at the Brien Holden Vision Institute, said: ‘We have a series of myopia projects to address a major public health problem of our times.’
