SightGlass Vision announced in a press release the launch of a new global professional education campaign, “Control the Contrast," which is designed to create a greater understanding among eyecare professionals about the power of contrast management for myopia control. The initiative centers around DOT spectacle lenses, which according to data, have been shown to slow average myopia progression by up to 75% after 12 months of wear across diverse populations.1,2
According to the company, the “Control the Contrast” website houses a range of content, including details on how the contrast levels in various environments may lead to very different levels of eye growth, as well as downloadable DOT lens materials.
“More children are developing myopia at a younger age, making it even more crucial for eyecare professionals to be aware of all the options at their disposal for early intervention,” said Andrew Sedgwick, CEO of SightGlass Vision, in the press release. “By building awareness and understanding of the science behind contrast management and DOT lenses’ unique approach to controlling myopia, we hope more eyecare professionals will take action.” OM
