Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to create a comprehensive consensus on managing myopia in children and young people across the UK and Ireland through a Delphi method involving 34 expert optometrists and ophthalmologists.
- The panel agreed on 131 statements, emphasizing the need for parental discussions on interventions for myopia developed before age 13, publicly funded options for those at risk, and the consideration of individual hobbies and lifestyles in choosing treatment.
- Future research is essential to better identify at-risk patients, assess the effectiveness of treatments, and adapt management strategies as new evidence arises.
