Ground-breaking evidence-based information on myopia management is now accessible to all eye-care practitioners (ECPs) around the world, following the release of the 2021 IMI White Papers Clinical Summaries in English and 12 other languages. The single page summaries have been presented in an easy to understand language.
They come following the highly anticipated second volume of the 2021 IMI White Papers and yearly digest, published in a special issue of the peer-reviewed Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science (IOVS) journal.
More than 134 world-leading experts in the field of myopia contributed to these white papers, which are used globally by the eye care profession and peak health bodies, providing updates to regions where the knowledge that we can prevent and slow myopia has not yet reached or remains in its infancy.
