Myopia management recommendations created for practitioners

Johnson & Johnson Vision has created a list of recommendations for eye care professionals to assess, monitor and treat myopia in children.

A guide, titled Managing Myopia: A Clinical Response to the Growing Epidemic, has been developed in partnership with optometric organisations in the US and Singapore.

Noel Brennan, optometrist and clinical research fellow for the Myopia Control Platform at Johnson & Johnson Vision, said: ‘Johnson & Johnson Vision, in partnership with leaders in eye health, has created this new myopia management guide as a clinical response to address the rising rates of myopia globally and solidify our collective commitment to combating myopia as a major threat to our children’s eye health.’
