Roundtable: Myopia management brought into focus

Reams of research, hours of education and a clutch of contact lens launches have been dedicated to myopia management, but what are the levels of understanding and how keen are the profession and the public to get involved?

Optician and VTI convened a roundtable to delve into levels of understanding and attitudes towards myopia and myopia control and to gather real-life experiences of the patient journey from both perspectives.

Sarah Sanders is parent of two children, the older one of which is using VTI NaturalVue lens to control his myopia. Sanders wore contact lenses from the age of 16 but now wears spectacles to correct her -8.00 myopia. Her son had been wearing spectacles but wanted contact lenses to play sport.
