Myopia is shortsightedness or nearsightedness or defective vision from a distance. It is one of the most common vision problems, treated by optometrists on a daily basis. Several new therapies and some major clinical studies have brought about a renewed interest by the optometry community. The authors have reviewed and critically evaluated these studies in order to provide practitioners with the latest and most thorough information on the clinical management of myopia. The book addresses the epidemiology and etiology of myopia, management including clinical examination and prescription, and methods of myopia control or reduction including vision therapy and biofeedback training, added plus for near work, pharmaceutical agents, rigid contact lenses and orthokeratology, refractive surgery, and corneal topography measurement. By consulting this comprehensive reference, optometrists will gain a better understanding of the range of options available for treating myopia and will learn how to select the best method of correction for each patient.
