Myopia Action Month is underway. Now in its third year, the global initiative builds on the success of previous editions by providing eye care professionals (ECPs) worldwide with new programs and free resources that turn myopia awareness into action. Throughout September, participants have access to focussed, evidence-based education, actionable tools, and clinically relevant insights designed to assist ECPs at all points in their myopia management journey.
“Every year, Myopia Action Month improves thanks to feedback from ECPs around the world,” said Dr Kate Gifford, co-founder and director of Myopia Profile. “That input guides us to deliver the resources practitioners need to focus on their priorities.
“This year, we’ve developed targeted, actionable content streams that address the most common themes we heard, helping them elevate their myopia management practices.”
