AOA OD Talks Webinar Series: Myopia Myths Debunked—What the Evidence Actually Says

Join us on Earth Day for this AOA OD Talks Webinar Series as we engage in an evidence-based discussion that cuts through the noise surrounding myopia management.

Presented by Ashley Tucker, O.D., Jennifer Liao, O.D., and Juan Menjivar, O.D., the "AOA OD Talks Webinar Series: Myopia Myths Debunked—What the Evidence Actually Says" webinar equips clinicians with the clarity and confidence needed to translate current research into practical, patient-centered care. As myopia prevalence continues to rise—alongside increasing parental concern—misinformation has become widespread, fueled by social media, outdated teachings and commercial bias.

This course will highlight:

• How to distinguish myopia myths from evidence-based truths, including common misconceptions about screen time, undercorrection, blue light and outdoor activity
• Why language and patient communication matter when discussing myopia risk versus disease
• The latest research on myopia progression, stabilization and treatment strategies, including atropine dosing and emerging therapies
• Practical guidance for counseling patients and parents using clear, science-backed recommendations
