Are myopia and dry eye related? James Wolffsohn broke down this question in a recent article for Review of Myopia Management. He wrote: "To fully answer the question of whether there is an association between childhood myopia and dry eye, better, large-scale longitudinal studies of young children need to be conducted, following those who develop myopia and those whose axial length growth halts at emmetropia. "These trials need to collect detailed information on their ocular biometry, tear film, and associated structures (such as the meibomian glands), nutrition, and social/environmental factors, as well as any treatments prescribed and their use (in the form of compliance) to determine whether there is a true link and if so, what are the causes."

This month, Chief Medical Editor Dwight Akerman, OD, MBA wrote about the importance of classifying myopia as a disease. He wrote: "Effective communication is critical to the acceptance of your recommendations for treating juvenile-onset myopia, so practice incorporating the concept of myopia as a disease into your discussions with parents and children. Disease is an emotional term, so be careful about how you use it, especially when parents have never heard of myopia management prior to your presentation."
