In this Modern Optometry article, Jason Jedlicka, OD, FAAO, discusses the inherent challenges of refracting pediatric patients, and why the OCULUS Myopia Master® is the optimal device to capture all necessary measurements for myopia management.
“Axial length is the most important measurement we can use for proper management of myopia,” Dr. Jedlicka says. “It’s proven to be more accurate, more precise, and more reliable as an indicator of change than refractive error.”
He highlights the Myopia Master® as an “all-in-one device that performs axial length optical biometry, corneal keratometry, and objective autorefraction.” Now, all his staff use the device to capture baseline measurements on all patients at risk of ametropia as part of routine care. Ultimately, Dr. Jedlicka says the fast, straightforward data capture of precise, comprehensive measurements on the Myopia Master® is ideal for any practitioner who wishes to focus on myopia management and care.
