This month, Marie Homa-Palladino, OD, FIAOMC, IACMM shared how she got started in the myopia management space, and the ways that she's been able to find success with the specialty. She wrote: "I opened my private practice in 2009, and shortly after, I went to GSLS and heard Brien Holden speak about the myopia epidemic. I had two young daughters at the time, one already myopic at age 9, and the younger, a pre-myope. Brien inspired me to look further into orthokeratology and start offering my patients — and my children — myopia management treatments. "My first patient was my oldest daughter, and I quickly saw her amazing results and the freedom obtained with OrthoK. Her vision was fantastic, and I felt compelled to share this with everyone."
