It’s #MyopiaAwarenessWeek! HOYA Vision Care has teamed up with BHVI to motivate Eye Care Professionals worldwide to transform awareness into action. We’re emphasising the importance of spending more time outdoors, taking regular breaks from near-work activities and digital devices, and seeking regular eye checks to support myopia prevention and reduce the risk of myopia progression. While myopia isn’t reversible, with the correct glasses, its progression can be managed or even halted. Join us from May 13th to 19th, 2024, for Myopia Awareness Week to help elevate awareness about the global impact of myopia on children and explore the effective treatments available to manage its progression. Together, we can address the increasing prevalence of myopia. Discover more and access valuable resources at: https://bhvi.org/maw24/ #MyopiaAwarenessWeek #MAW2024 #HOYAforthevisionaries

According to the International Myopia Institute's Global Practitioner Surveys, more and more practitioners are increasing both their concern about the prevalence of #myopia and their use of advanced #myopiacontrol therapies and treatments. As more treatment options become widely available for eye care practitioners to access, the IMI has developed a useful communication tool and chairside reference of key myopia management evidence-based information easily accessed by practitioners. You can download the free IMI Myopia Facts & Findings infographic from the #MyopiaAwarenessWeek website! #myopiamanagement #maw2024 Review of Myopia Management James Wolffsohn
