Bill Harvey: Eat, sleep, treat, repeat

I notice that the Brien Holden Institute has just made available some clinical guidelines which should prove useful for anyone looking to start practising myopia therapies. They are free to download, after a one-off registration, at brienholdenvision.org/translational-research/myopia/myopia-guidelines.html. They are clear and, importantly, simple to follow.

As has been reflected in the pages of this magazine, myopia management is a hot topic at present. The use of higher dose atropine (IP optometrists only in the UK), and orthokeratology, appear to make the greatest impact among the currently available interventions, but the body of evidence from various trials continues to rise and access to a range of options is likely to grow too.
