The Growing Epidemic of Myopia

During this live, interactive webinar, we will explore the growing prevalence of myopia around the world while highlighting the recent findings and leading articles in this field. The clinical causes of vision loss from myopia, beyond refractive error, will be briefly discussed including diseases of the posterior segment like retinal detachment and neovascularization. The majority of this webinar will then focus on the current approaches and treatments that are available now, as well as in the development pipeline, to prevent myopia and curb this public health concern.
