Eyecare professionals from across the country gathered in Houston November 6-7 for The Myopia Collective's Change Agent Workshop, a 2-day event focused on advancing myopia management as the standard of care. Representing their respective states, the Change Agents shared insights, strengthened professional connections, and explored strategies to expand access to evidence-based myopia management for children.

The workshop featured educational sessions and interactive discussions covering clinical knowledge, advocacy, practice growth, and opportunities to advance myopia management locally. Participants also developed individual action plans to put new insights and strategies into practice and drive progress in their communities.

A collaboration between the American Optometric Association and CooperVision, The Myopia Collective is a nationwide initiative working to shift the focus of myopia care from simply correcting children's vision to proactively managing the condition. OM
