Let's get started
Getting started in myopia management doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start with the essentials and go from there:
Prepare your practice
Take a quick inventory of your equipment and identify any additional pieces you may need, like a topographer for fitting orthokeratology or an optical biometer.
Prepare your staff
Make sure your staff is ready to help educate patients on myopia throughout eye exams. You may even want to elect a myopia "champion" to help educate and review treatments options and cost in more depth with the patient.
Consider all patients
Offer myopia management treatment options to all myopic patients once myopia has been diagnosed.
Educate in advance
Send information to myopia patients in your database before their next appointment, providing education on myopia as a disease, and the potential to manage it.
Address cost concerns directly
Myopia management treatment can seem expensive at first, which is why it’s important to clearly state its benefits and value to parents.
