Presentation Title：
Axial Length in Myopia Management Abstract：
In managing myopia, refractive error assessment are commonly used to diagnose and monitor myopia. Recent optical biometers utilizing partial coherence interferometry and swept source techniques allow for rapid and non-invasive measurements of axial length. Although a refractive error value is still needed to diagnose an eye as being myopic, measurements of axial length allow for more accurate monitoring of myopia progression. This talk will discuss the value of using axial length and axial length/corneal curvature measurements in screening and managing myopia. Use of axial length and axial length/corneal curvature percentile charts provide a visual method to rapidly determine probability of myopia and monitor those at risk of myopia in specific populations. The talk will also discuss percentile charts and their value in monitoring progression of myopia.
