Optometry Today (OT) has published the second edition of its myopia management guide, in partnership with headline sponsor, CooperVision, the Association of Optometrists (AOP) and Topcon Healthcare.
The Big Short. Your myopia guide is a printed and digital guide designed to support eyecare professionals in integrating myopia management within patient care.
The guide will educate optometrists, dispensing opticians and contact lens opticians on key topics for their practice including the myopia management journey, effective patient communication tips, complaint mitigation advice and insight into the patient experience.
