Being honest with parents is not fearmongering. It’s responsible care. “Your child’s eyes are getting worse” “There’s good news. We can do something about it.” #Myopia #MyopiaManagement #ChildrensHealth #PublicHealth #EyeHealth #VisionHealth #PediatricEyeCare #ChildhoodMyopia

A 7-year-old. –6.50 already. After starting ortho-K, she walked into her first follow-up without lenses… saw me across the parking lot… and waved. The confidence shift was instant. This is why myopia management matters. #MyopiaManagement #OrthoK #Optometry #PatientWins

Early on, very few practices were doing myopia control — especially in Minnesota — which gave some groups a head start. The real advantage wasn’t timing, though. It was systems. #MyopiaManagement #PracticeGrowth #Optometry #SystemsThinking #OrthoK

Capture rates increase when patients start the conversation. Intentional exam room messaging—not clutter—creates trust and opportunity. #MyopiaManagement #PatientLedCare #PracticeGrowth #OptometryLife #ExamRoomStrategy #PrimaryCareOptometry

Strong OD/MD partnership. It’s not a new concept… it’s a familiar one applied earlier in a child’s journey. #MyopiaManagement #OrthoK #EyeCare #Optometry #Ophthalmology #PediatricEyeCare #VisionHealth #MyopiaControl #EyeDocs #FutureOfEyeCare

Parents don’t want to guess—they want clarity. Nighttime phone use is a huge red flag: kids who scroll in bed are almost always more nearsighted, and harder to slow. Clear guidance > guesswork. myopiamindset.substack.com #MyopiaManagement #Optometry #ScreenTime

The Real Cardinal Sins of Myopia Management 🔍 It’s rarely about a “botched fit.” The biggest mistakes in myopia management are the ones we create ourselves: myopiamindset.substack.com #MyopiaManagement #Optometry #PracticeGrowth #OrthoK #MyopiaControl #EyeCare #OptometryPractice #PatientCare

We’re past due on this, according to Dr. Cary Herzberg: Myopia is a disease — and early treatment, prevention, and axial length monitoring aren’t optional anymore. #MyopiaManagement #MyopiaControl #EyeHealth #Optometry

Global regulators are moving ahead — the U.S. is stalled. Myopia is a chronic progressive disease, and low-dose atropine is safe, effective, and essential. EU + U.K. have already approved SYD-101. The U.S. still hasn’t. #Myopia #MyopiaControl #Optometry #Atropine #EyeHealth

Myopia isn’t “just genetics.” Clinicians do have responsibility — because myopia is a progressive disease we can manage. It’s past time we treat it like one. Myopia is a disease. Period. #MyopiaIsADisease #MyopiaManagement #Optometry #MyopiaControl #MyopiaAwareness #EyeHealth

We don’t let myopia get worse. 👁️ Myopia is a growing problem — one that can’t be left to just a few hundred specialists. Every practice has a role to play. www.myopiamindset.com #MyopiaManagement #Optometry #MyopiaControl #OrthoK #PediatricOptometry #OptometryPodcast

That “minus” on the prescription isn’t just a number — it means the eye is stretching and getting weaker. Myopia control isn’t about lenses; it’s about protecting sight for life. 💙 www.myopiamindset.com #MyopiaManagement #Optometry #MyopiaControl #OrthoK

💡 Commoditization Is Killing Medical Value? Soft lenses became “just contacts” — not medical devices. We can’t let that happen to Ortho-K. They’re custom medical devices, not commodities. Words matter. 👁️ #Optometry #MyopiaManagement #OrthoK

🚨 #1 Mistake New Fitters Make: changing too fast. 👁️ Give the lens time to settle before making adjustments — patience pays off. #Optometry #MyopiaManagement

If you’re serious about myopia management, stop charging for products — start charging for programs. This isn’t about selling lenses or drops. It’s about providing a system of care that protects a child’s vision for life. #MyopiaManagement #Optometry #MyopiaControl

💡 Think of MDD as the signal ortho-k, soft lenses, and glasses send to the back of the eye. How do we measure, moderate, and optimize that signal for better myopia control? We’ve been exploring that since 2009 — and the science keeps evolving. 👁️ #MyopiaManagement #OrthoK

🧠 95% of decisions aren’t based on logic… They’re driven by emotion. In patient care, that means the “I’ll think about it” or “Maybe next year” #PatientCommunication #OptometryTips #MyopiaManagement #VisionByDesign #OrthoK #EyeCarePros myopiamindset.substack.com/p/staying-ah...

While #myopia care may not be widely pursued due to financial limitations (it doesn't pay well because practices fail to charge appropriately), this creates an opportunity for those #optometrists who are willing to specialize in it. myopiamindset.substack.com

#optometry programs need to emphasize specialization and encourage professionals to refer patients to those more qualified, this should start in #optometryschools

The lack of optometrist-to-optometrist referrals is one of the biggest challenges in the field. Referrals should be a two-way street, yet many optometrists hesitate to send patients to colleagues. #optometry #optometrist #myopiamangement
