Master Myopia in future!
Early and accurate measurement and reliable follow-up of myopia

With myopia prevalence increasing in children, adolescents and young adults and growing exponentially overall, it is becoming more and more important to monitor for myopia early on in life. Simply put: The earlier myopia is discovered, the better. Children should therefore be regularly tested for myopia from the age of 4.

The greatest changes in myopia occur from age 6 to 16 when the eye can start growing out of focus. This results into a bigger axial length of the eye and myopia. Once the eye is grown longer, there is no method shrinking the eye again. The treatment of myopia reduces the eye growth, or, in the best case, stops it. This demonstrates how important it is to regularly test children already at an early age.

Myopia management: All important parameters in one device
Refraction, Axial Length and Keratometry

Refraction
Refraction

A refraction measurement is carried out in a matter of seconds and determines the eye’s refractive error. The sphero-cylindrical combination forms both the basis for subjective refraction and is also a fundamental parameter for myopia management.

Axial length
Axial length

The axial length measurement is independent of the accommodation state of the eye. The measurement is highly accurate. An increase in axial length is a reliable indication of myopia progression. Axial length measurement represents the gold standard for recognizing eye length growth at an early stage.

Keratometry
Keratometry

The central corneal radii represent the refraction of the cornea. Combining this with the axial length and the total refraction of the eye enables an even better understanding of the human visual system.

Identify early, prevent later effects

Myopia is a major risk factor for various eye diseases such as retinal detachment, macular diseases and glaucoma.
This makes it essential to not only to treat the symptoms of myopia but also to slow down the progression of the disease.
The Myopia Master® software offers you innovative tools to provide your patients with the very best care.

NEW: Growth Analysis

Keeping an eye on eye growth

Regular eye growth checks are an essential aspect of successful myopia management. This illustration clearly shows the changes in eye growth as well as treatment successes.

The Growth Analysis module automatically calculates and visually compares a patient’s axial length growth rate with age-adjusted normative data, facilitating streamlined clinical decisions and discussions with patients and their parents. The colour-coded parameters support practitioners in tracking and communicating the effectiveness of each myopia treatment, helping to achieve buy-in and reinforce compliance.

Based on a quantitative analysis of these clinically significant measurements, practitioners can evaluate treatment efficacy to validate success or adjust recommendations with greater speed, ease and accuracy for improved workflow.

OCULUS Myopia Master® – For early myopia detection and management

GRAS Module

Anything but 0.0. – A new understanding of vision

Never has the interpretation of measurement results been as easy and reliable as with the new Myopia Master®. All individually measured refractive components of the eye are automatically matched with the Gullstrand standard eye model. This way you can always take your bearings by the gold standard. Not only does this save you time, it also provides an ideal basis for explaining the results to your patients.

Best of all, OCULUS has adapted the Gullstrand eye for children, providing even better care for this important target group.

The Myopia Master® from OCULUS

Previously there was no all-in-one device available for performing refraction, axial length measurement and keratometry in combination. The only option was to purchase at least two devices, but this still left one with no myopia software.

The Myopia Master® from OCULUS now enables optometrists and ophthalmologists to position themselves optimally for the future. The Myopia Master® combines the most important parameters, making myopia detection and management much easier and more reliable than ever.

In myopia had been stated that avoid overcoming 26 mm of axial length or less of -6.00 D is of importance. Even more, if we know that every additional dioptre increases myopic maculopathy by 67 %. Today, orthokeratology (OK) is a gold standard for optical devices. Between them, Double Reservoir Lenses (DRL) easily allow customization, as changes in back optic zone diameter, for better myopia control in children.

Myopia risk

Myopia: short-sightedness in children and adolescents on the rise

When it comes to the spread of myopia some studies already speak of an epidemic. The well-known Brien Holden Vision Institute has forecast that by the year 2050 one out of two individuals could be affected by myopia. That is alarming, and it makes it more than clear that early detection and management of myopia are becoming more and more important. For there is no other way to effectively reduce the risks of myopia in children and adolescents.

Numbers speak a clear language

A comparison illustrates the rapidity of this development: In the year 2000 22.9% of the global population were affected by myopia and 2.7% had high myopia beyond -5 diopters. According to Brien Holden's forecast, by 2050, 50% of the world's population could be myopic and at least 10% could be suffering from high myopia. The development is also dramatic within Europe. According to data recently presented by the European Eye Epidemiology Consortium, more than 47% Europeans between 25 and 29 years of age are myopic

 

Risk of severe eye disease on the rise

Those affected also have a greater risk of developing severe eye disease such as cataract or retinal detachment and eventual blindness. In general it can be said, that the earlier the myopia onset, the higher will be the myopia in the adulthood and the higher will be the risk for severe eye disease.
