Atlanta, Georgia – U.S.-based medical device company, Visioneering Technologies Inc. recently shared its new MyChild & Myopia education materials to help facilitate a conversation with eye care practitioners on risks of childhood myopia with parents.
Pediatric myopia, or nearsightedness in children, has undergone explosive growth on a global scale over the past four decades and has become a major worldwide eye health issue. Eye experts generally believe that minimizing the progression of nearsightedness is an important intervention aimed at minimizing life-time risks of blindness and other serious ocular diseases that are related to nearsightedness.
The new MyChild & Myopia brochure helps parents better understand myopia, its causes and ways their practitioner may be able to help slow or manage their child’s myopia.
Tony Sommer, senior vice president, sales and marketing, commented, “We are pleased to share these educational materials with our practitioners. We firmly believe that our role as a business partner in this fight is to help practitioners educate their patients about the possible effects of myopia and open the door to a positive conversation which may result in a management plan for their children.”
It’s even more important now, as practitioners focus on rebuilding their practices that they reevaluate the companies that support them with the technology and tools for continued success.
