RESOURCES
Myopia management is a global epidemic with clinical experts around the world working effectively to learn more about fighting the epidemic. Please find these listed resources as trusted educational links for more information
Practitioner Referral Link
Our practice strongly believes in working with fellow practitioners in providing the best options for myopia management for their patients. Any patients referred to our clinic for myopia management will be referred back to their primary eye care practitioner for ongoing and routine care outside of myopia management visits. Our goal is to provide treatment that is synergistic to level of eyecare to your patient to help them achieve best outcomes for their ocular health.
Fees for this consultation are not covered under the OHIP insured services or comprehensive examinations.
We recommend that the last comprehensive eye examination was completed less than one year ago to have the best accuracy in determining candidacy. Any patients that have not completed an eye exam within the past year will require a comprehensive examination prior to the myopia control consultation.
BRIEN HOLDEN VISION INSTITUTE
The Myopia Calculator is a tool that helps eye care practitioners, individuals, patients and parents to apply the research based evidence for various management options and enables the practitioner to demonstrate and discuss ‘risk versus benefit’ for individual cases.
The Myopia Calculator is used daily by thousands of eye care professionals worldwide as they strive to explain myopia progression to their patients. It is the most widely used tool the Brien Holden Vision Institute has developed to date.
MY KIDS VISION
A comprehensive user-friendly website for parents that breaks down the concerns of myopia, myopia progression and consideration of treatment options for your child. Designed by Drs. Kate and Paul Gifford who are global experts in myopia control practising in Australia.
