Myopian hoito (1 piste) 
Miksi hoitaisin myopiaa juuri nyt? Mikä toimii myopian hoidossa, mikä ei? 

For many years, practitioners were limited in the solutions they could offer their myopic patients. Although myopia could easily be corrected using glasses or contact lenses, practitioners were generally helpless when it came to slowing down myopia progression. Now, however, the situation has changed dramatically with the recent introduction of myopia inhibiting solutions.  This exciting field is developing rapidly, with increasing products being brought to market and an incredible pace of scientific development and output.  This presentation aims to simplify and characterise the current landscape of myopia management; the potential solutions, their benefits, and how you might provide the best care for the next myopic child to walk into your examination room
