MYOPIA EDUCATION PROGRAM
understanding of myopia management. Connecting you with globally
recognised leaders through interactive case studies, videos and webinars, the
Program provides the skills for you to better-manage progressive myopia
for your patients.
The Brien Holden Vision Institute has been a worldwide leader in eye care
education for the past 30 years, having educated over 250,000 eye care
professionals globally. We have a track record in providing the newest data, clinical
management techniques and communication strategies for practitioners to change
the way they manage myopia.
Find out why 98% of practitioners have changed the way they practice after completing the program.
ABOUT ACADEMY
In effect, the Academy develops and strengthens the human capacity of emerging nations in a manner that enables them to contribute to global eye health and the WHO Development Goals in a marked, effective and sustainable way by targeting in particular, but not exclusively, avoidable blindness and visual impairment that is second to uncorrected refractive error.

MYOPIA GUIDELINES
The guidelines have been developed by researchers and clinicians at Brien Holden Vision Institute and Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Centre, China.
Incorporating the latest evidence-based knowledge, the guidelines remind practitioners of the different stages of assessment and treatment of myopes and will help inform diagnostic tests, risk assessment, appropriate myopia management options and scheduling follow-up visits and tests.
The step-wise approach includes:
- Initial consultation - procedures to include
- Assessment of risk for onset and progression of myopia
- Management strategy - factors to consider
- Follow-up - frequency and procedures
MYOPIA CALCULATOR
The Myopia Calculator illustrates the impact of various myopia management strategies on the amount of myopia progression in a child. Brien Holden Vision Institute designed the Calculator following feedback from practitioners that a tool was needed to explain myopia management in practice. Key features include:
VISUAL DISPLAY OF DATA
The tool applies evidence-based research to various management options and enables you to demonstrate and discuss the possible benefits – over time – of treating myopia progression in your patients. The Control Rate (%) slider allows you to change the level of myopia and view how it will affect its progression across the range reported for the selected treatment.
TAILOR TO YOUR PATIENT
Choose from different ages, ethnicities and refractive error to be able to show your patients the comparison of myopia management strategies for their situation.
MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
Choose from different myopia management options including multifocal soft contact lenses; peripheral defocus spectacles; executive bifocals; progressive addition spectacles; orthokeratology; low and high dose atropine.
Use in your practice on any desktop, tablet and mobile device.
PEER REVIEWED DATA
All data is sourced from peer-reviewed reports on well-conducted trials.
It is free for you to use, and helps support patient and parent communications, as well as helping to improve treatment compliance in an area that practitioners can find challenging. It is a must-have for practitioners.
EYE TEACH©
Operating as an interactive series of workshops and self-assessment exercises, EyeTeach© ultimately enables educators to access expert advice and guidance on the most effective ways to teach optometry students. Topics learnt include: understanding the different ways people learn; how to structure a course to achieve expected learning outcomes; how to use different teaching methods, including lectures, role play, presentations and case studies.
