What's the top reason ECPs don't practice myopia management? Chief Medical Editor Dwight Akerman, OD, MBA broke down that question in this month's column. He wrote: "At virtually every professional meeting, I speak with eye care professionals who still need to implement myopia management in their practices. When I ask why, the answers vary from not being lucrative and children taking too much chair time to being busy enough. However, the number one reason is that 'I don’t see enough children in my practice to justify creating a myopia management sub-specialty.'"

Chief Medical Editor Dwight Akerman, OD, MBA broke down the article “Putting efficacy into context: do controlled trials on efficacy of myopia control translate to a clinical population?” by Stephanie Kearney and Mhairi Day, which addressed significant concerns over the rising prevalence of juvenile-onset myopia and the effectiveness of various interventions aimed at controlling this condition. Ultimately, the article calls for further research to better understand the real-world applicability of trial findings, with the authors suggesting that future studies should strive to include a more diverse population, reflecting the various ages, levels of myopia, and other relevant factors commonly encountered in practice.
