Putting Myopia Management Standard Of Care Into Action

Published:

2021年世界Council of Optometry (WCO) passed a resolution that公开宣布对近视管理作为护理标准的支持。这被定义为:

  • 减轻:attempting to prevent or delay onset of myopia by providing advice on visual environment and watching for pre-myopia
  • Measurement:providing regular comprehensive vision and eye health examinations for myopic children including measuring refraction and axial length where possible
  • 管理:通过基于证据的干预措施,改善生活质量以及当今和未来的更好的眼睛健康,以解决患者的纠正和控制近视的需求。

近视管理涉及跨学科的护理和意识,但近视管理始于验光,因此,WCO制定该解决方案是至关重要的一步。该分辨率意味着验光师应必须有必要讨论近视风险因素和视觉环境,确定有近视风险的儿童,进行定期的眼睛检查(每6个月建议每6个月一次建议国际近视研究所Clinical Management Guidelines) and offer myopia correction and control.

To bring this resolution to life,WCO与Coopervision合作to raise awareness of myopia and the need to use the evidence to improve treatment and outcomes. This partnership has taken shape as a variety of educational resources for optometrists and supportive resources for discussions with parents, with landmark releases in September 2021, January 2022 and an upcoming virtual event on the 12th of February 2022. This article will step you through these resources.

This website is organized around the three principles of the standard of care – mitigation, measurement and management – with additional resources on practical approaches. More resources will continue to be added throughout 2022.
