AOA Survey: Doctors of Optometry Embrace Myopia Management

The AOA’s Research & Information Committee (RIC) conducted the survey this past summer, with findings published in the AOA Health Policy Institute brief: 93% of doctors who provide myopia management work in cities, with 71% working independently. Before beginning myopia management protocols, 73% believe an annual progression of 0.5 to 0.75 diopters is required. The most important risk factor for myopia management was determined to be refractive error. Soft (contact) lenses approved by the FDA were the preferred treatment method. 33% of myopia management candidates postpone treatment; 80% of these patients postpone treatment due to financial constraints.
