As the incidence of myopia increases worldwide, with a
predicted prevalence of around 50% of the world’s population by 2050,
eyecare professionals likely will see an
uptick in visits from younger patients in need of diagnosis,
prognosis, and treatment. While some clinicians may have
sidestepped the myopia arena until now, they have a
unique opportunity to begin screening for and managing
this growing population of patients. Actively searching for
patients at risk for developing myopia and utilizing the
available spectacles, contact lenses, orthokeratology and
low dose atropine to effectively manage myopia is now
the standard of care, as noted by a number of professional
organizations.

Children with first prescription before the age of 10 years showed the strongest progression and a significantly final Spherical Equivalent (SER). All children who developed SER ≤−3 D at 10 years were highly myopic as adults, children who had SER between −1.5 D and −3 D at 10 years had 46.0% risk of high myopia, and children with SER between −0.5 D and −1.5 D had 32.6% risk of high myopia.
