Comparison of Placebo and Centile-Matched Virtual Control Group Progressions" Síofra Harrington PhD – "Optimizing Early Detection of Pre-Myopia and Myopia in Young Children: Effective Non-Cycloplegic Screening Methods" Ian Flitcroft – "MyopiaX-1 6-Month Safety and Effect Outcomes on the Reduction of Myopia Progression: A Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Trial" Michael Moore - "Trends in Vision Impairment Associated with Refractive Error in Ireland" Eoin Kerin - "Interactions between dose and eye colour in low-concentration atropine treatment for myopia," TU Dublin Research and Innovation #IMC2024 #EyeResearch #Myopia #CERI #Optometry #ResearchInnovation #MyopiaControl #TUDublin

Just back from IMC 2024 in Sanya and what an incredible experience! So many inspiring speakers, thought-provoking presentations, and innovative ideas to bring back. It was a privilege to present my poster and share insights from our ongoing research. I really enjoyed the engaging discussions on the topic of low-dose atropine and its potential impact. Big thanks to the amazing CERI/Ocumetra team for making it an unforgettable week—collaborating, learning, and, of course, winning the *unofficial* team award for the Oakley Run!!! 🏃♂️ Looking forward to applying all the great ideas and connections from this week. #IMC2024 #Research #Teamwork #CERI #Ocumetra #Myopia

Another fantastic day at the International Myopia Conference , this time with Ernest Kyei Nkansah (OD, MBA) from the Centre for Eye Research Ireland , who made us very proud by giving his talk on "Longitudinal effects of atropine 0.01% on ocular parameters in European children with myopia". The Refractive Mechanism Map (RAM) was utilised to determine whether myopia was axial length, corneal or internal dioptric power. It was found that 85% had axial myopia, and 0.01% atropine was effective for them but not for the corneal myopes. Well done Ernest Kyei Nkansah (OD, MBA) !

A great start to the International Myopia Conference this morning with Megan Doyle presenting her poster on the choroidal thickness and axial length in myopic and non-myopic 6-7-year-olds. Megan was awarded a travel grant to present her important research, and we at the Centre for Eye Research Ireland could not be prouder! Well done Megan!

⚪ 👁 Free Myopia Control Lenses👁 ⚪ Our myopia control research trial on contact lenses still has spaces available. If you have any patients aged 7-11 who would benefit from myopia control and want to be primarily spectacle-free, get in touch with Centre for Eye Research Ireland today. The trial will run for 12 months, and every participant will receive free myopia control contact lenses; there is no placebo group. We will assess their suitability, teach them everything they need to know and monitor them for the duration - all free of charge. After 12 months, we refer them back to your practice as fully-fledged contact lens wearers 🎉 Please consider patients you may have seen over the summer who could not justify the cost of myopia control and chat with them to see if they wish to access treatment via the Centre for Eye Research Ireland in Grangegorman, Dublin. ❗ A compensation scheme for referrals is in place to offset the financial loss to the practice for referrals; please don't hesitate to get in touch with us for more information ❗ Referrals can be made on the following link: https://lnkd.in/ey8cG7QT

A recording of our recent webinar with Ian Flitcroft and Eoin Kerin on Mastering Myopia Control. Eoin ends this talk with ways to access myopia control for those patients who may struggle to meet the cost of treatment. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see our team to discuss in the future, comment below.

👓 Free RayBans and Myopia Control Lenses 👓 Due to a small number of cancellations, some spaces have become available in our myopia control research trial. If you have any patients aged 6-16 who would benefit from myopia control, this is the final call for this trial. The trial will run for 24 months, and every participant will receive a free RayBan spectacle frame and myopia control lenses; there is no placebo group. Both frames and lenses will be changed if required by prescription or growth for the duration of the trial, and again, they will be free of charge. Please consider patients you may have seen over the summer who could not justify the cost of myopia control and chat with them to see if they wish to access treatment via the Centre for Eye Research Ireland in Grangegorman, Dublin. The trial is open nationwide. Due to the very limited number of places, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. Referrals can be made on the following link: https://lnkd.in/ey8cG7QT
