The Myopia Upgrade-New growth charts and a brand new Gullstrand module / P. Sankaridurg, S. Schwarz

The cooperation between OCULUS and BHVI is bearing fruits! A big update for Caucasian growth charts makes myopia management more reliable. A new study with thousands of measured eyes was finished successfully and the results are impressive. A refractive trend analysis and future estimation for individual children supports eye care practitioners in patient education. GRAS – Gullstand Refractive Analysis System – a brand new module simulates individual refractive components of the eye compared to a normative eye model. Finding the origin of the refractive error supports eye care practitioners to choose the optimal treatment plan. Prof. Padmaja Sankaridurg, Australia, and Stefan Schwarz, Germany, are speaking from the perspective of a researcher and a practitioner. 00:00 - Introduction 01:35 - Padmaja Sankaridurg: the importance of axial length 05:04 - Padmaja Sankaridurg: non-cycloplegic vs cycloplegic refraction 08:40 - Padmaja Sankaridurg: axial length and AXL/CR ratio for my
