The Association of Optometrists (AOP), headline sponsor CooperVision, are hosting a third edition of myopia-themed education, providing insights on myopia management in clinical practice.
The full day event will include sessions developed in collaboration with CooperVision, Essilor, Topcon Healthcare, the Vision team at Johnson & Johnson, Specsavers, Bausch + Lomb and Hoya – covering areas such as evidence-based management techniques, communication tools in effective management, orthokeratology, and public messaging in myopia.
Ian Beasley, AOP Head of Education, said: “As myopia management continues to be an increasingly relevant area of clinical practice, practitioners are keen to keep pace with emerging strategies to improve patient care. The education sessions have been designed to provide guidance to eye care professionals on effective interventions for myopia control, approaches to assessing treatment efficacy and best practice for enhanced patient care.”
The sessions will be delivered by international experts in myopia management including, Elizabeth Lumb, Director of Global Professional Affairs for myopia management at CooperVision, Nicola Logan, Professor of Optometry at Aston University and Director of Research for the Optometry and Vision Science Research Group and Dr Noel Brennan, internationally renowned scientist, inventor, and research fellow at Johnson & Johnson.

From the seven live webinars, delegates can choose to attend all sessions or select individual sessions relevant to their clinical interests. Each session offers one interactive CPD point designed to bolster professional development in contemporary myopia management.
