Abstract

THIS INSTRUCTION COURSE WILL BE A COMPLETE OVERHAUL ON THE MYOPIA PANDEMIC BUT WITH AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE. AN UP-TO-DATE REVIEW WITH RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO PROFILE CHILDHOOD MYOPES, EVALUATE AND TREAT THEM. THE INITIAL FOCUS WILL BE ON UNDERSTANDING THE PATHOLOGY OF MYOPIA WITH BASIC SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY PROFILING OF THE PATIENT, BASIC EVALUATION, BINOCULAR VISION EVALUATION AND DISPENSING THE RIGHT GLASSES, FOLLOWED BY A REVIEW ON LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS, PHARMACOTHERAPY (ATROPINE) AND THE MORE RECENT OPTICAL METHODS (ORTHO-K, CONTACT LENSES, DIMS, VIOLET LIGHT GLASSES, PROGRESSIVES). SURGICAL CORRECTION OF STRABISMUS AND OTHER MYOPIA-ASSOCIATED ENTITIES WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH PRE-OP EVALUATION AND SURGICAL VIDEOS. THE IC WILL END WITH HOW TO SET UP AN EFFECTIVE MYOPIA CLINIC IN OUR DAY TO DAY PRACTICE – TIPS AND TRICKS TO ENSURE HAPPY AND STABLE MYOPES.
