Myopia Profile, the international clinical myopia management information centre for eyecare professionals (ECPs), has announced several developments for September’s inaugural Myopia Action Month.
The international event will serve as an inspiring platform to bring together ECPs from around the world in a collective effort to combat the escalating prevalence of childhood myopia, said Dr Kate Gifford, co-founder of Myopia Profile. “Early intervention and elevating the standard of paediatric vision care are pivotal in improving outcomes for children with myopia,” she said. “Myopia Action Month encourages even more ECPs to be a part of the solution by providing them with the educational materials and clinical practice tools necessary to start taking action now, or for those already involved to have a greater impact.”
To boost momentum for the initiative, Myopia Profile has launched a dedicated website and ECP survey and gained several new industry sponsors. Myopiaaction.com is a central hub for exclusive news, resources and activities updates. ECPs are encouraged to visit the site to sign up for e-newsletter updates leading up to the month-long initiative.
