Eyecare in the Changing World: Scaling Up for Impact
Kovin Naidoo, PhD, OD
Professor, Global head of advocacy and partnerships, OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation and former CEO, Brien Holden Vision Institute
The World Health Assembly Resolutions, The UN Resolutions, The World Report on Vision, and the growing recognition by non-eye care actors of the importance of good vision, have catapulted Refractive Error in particular, and eye care in general, onto the center stage of global health.
Given this context and the growing unmet needs in eye care and the changing ecosystem of optometry and optics the sector must be both receptive and responsive in order to remain relevant.
This lecture will emphasize the latest global evidence on eye health challenges and the global commitments of the public-private sector to make eye care accessible, equitable, affordable, and effective for everyone, everywhere in the world. This lecture will provide an overview of the achievements and evidence of remaining challenges and opportunities for improved eye care worldwide. It will locate Eye health as a global political, health, and development priority and discuss the central role that optometrists and opticians can proactively play within their professional associations, together with other health professions, and with their governments to achieving the scale that is demanded of us.
Key issues to be addressed are:
How do we scale up refractive services to the next level and create access for everyone?
How do we deploy public health strategies to protect our children from the looming myopia crisis?
How do we develop an integrated approach that brings all sectors together to achieve our goal (systems approach)?
How do we mobilise technology to drive this scale without undermining the role of optometrists and opticians or comprising quality?
How every practitioner, in every part of the globe, including in Europe, can become a part of this process to benefit our patients and societies?

Title: Nutrition and the Eye
Greg A. Caldwell, OD, FAAO
Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry (ABO), member of the Optometric Glaucoma Society (OGS), member of the Optometric Wellness and Nutritional Society (OWNS)
Carotenoids are nutrients that have been proven to protect the eye from light damage and several ocular pathologies. Their antioxidative protection is at the molecular level and are most recognized in age related macular degeneration. Many ocular and retinal diseases are linked to low levels are carotenoid levels. However, the retina is a highly metabolic tissue under constant assault. This course will review carotenoids and the comprehensive nutritional antioxidant network needed, how to assess their levels, and identify the patients that would benefit from diet, lifestyle, and macula and full retina supplementation. This course will provide patient cases to the audience.
Ocular Nutrition – Tying, Structure, Function, and Molecular All Together in the Changing World
Early detection, prevention, and wellness is not only trending but is now expected by our patients. Oxidative stress and damage are the hallmarks of chronic disease which is easily identified with our current and new instruments and technologies. This course will introduce and review concepts of integrative and complementary medicine and provide clinicians with clinical pearls, diagnostic interpretation and approaches, present-day and recently approved nutraceutical and therapeutic opportunities, and guidance on becoming a great Integrative Optometrist.
MyCon, the new Rodenstock solution for children with myopia
MyCon is a Rodenstock spectacle lens designed to correct myopia and to control the progression of myopia. The central area and the upper and lower parts of the lens are designed for central foveal vision to correct myopia. The nasal and temporal areas of the lens have continuous increasing plus power to focus the light in front of the peripheral retina and reduce contrast to slow down the progression of myopia. The presentation will explain the technical concept and the scientific background.

Title: Prescribing for Childhood Hyperopia: Top Tips & Considerations

When testing older children and adult patients, optometrists make decisions about the importance of refractive error and the need for spectacle correction based primarily on symptoms and the impact of refractive correction on visual acuity.
These parameters are less helpful when testing infants or young children when the visual system is maturing rapidly and there is a risk for the development of strabismus, amblyopia, and other visual anomalies. The magnitude of refractive error is only one consideration when deciding whether to prescribe a refractive correction and how much to prescribe for young children. Other factors, including age, accommodative function, binocular status (eye alignment and stereopsis), behavioral signs or symptoms, and academic performance, are essential components in the eyecare professional’s decision-making.
In this lecture, we will discuss the ‘why,’ ‘when,’ and ‘how much’ aspects of prescribing for childhood hyperopia and provide evidence-informed ‘top tips’ that we use in our clinical practice. We will review key objective methods for assessing accommodative function in young patients and how these measures inform our decision-making when managing typically developing hyperopic children and those with developmental disabilities. We will include patient cases for discussion.
