Myopia diagnosis

Boasting a comprehensive toolkit

New AMMC® framework

First-of-its-kind AMMC® framework

The "Age-Matched Myopia Control" (AMMC®) framework provides excellent data on the eye’s expected length growth considering age and gender. The eye care professional can compare axial length growth speed to a broad demographic database. As axial length growth is perfectly normal at a young age, it is essential to quickly discern pathological axial length growth from emmetropic growth. Pathologically fast eye growth can be rapidly identified using an easy-to-understand traffic light system, providing a clear indication for therapeutic action tailored to the age and state of the individual patient.

Understand therapy effectiveness

Assess axial length growth over time

AMMC® allows eye care professionals to observe and assess axial length growth over time and overlay potential treatments. This makes it possible to understand therapy effectiveness rapidly, allowing the eye care professional to adjust the individual patient’s therapy, as required. Furthermore, AMMC® can help to uncover developing myopia based on excessive axial length growth before it becomes visible in refraction. Therefore, treatment can be administered even in pre-myopic children to keep axial length growth in a physiological range.

Axial length

Axial length—an established method

Comparing axial length to axial length reference curves is a well-established method for the diagnosis of myopia. EyeSuite Myopia uses the latest axial length growth curves from myopia experts at the Erasmus University Medical Center. Lenstar Myopia provides powerful visualization, overlaying period­ic axial length measurements with gold-standard normative studies*, and even adds custom reference curves. * See Tideman et al., 2018 and Sanz Diez et al., 2019

Lenstar APS

Axial length measurement made easy

With the Automatic Positioning System (APS) of the Lenstar 900, performing the axial length measurement is easier than ever. As soon as the patient looks into the Lenstar, the APS tracks the patient’s eye, and the measurement is taken with one click of the joystick. This is especially important when measuring children, who are sometimes impatient and have difficulty cooperating with the measurement process.

Refraction

Refraction—a vital tool

Refractive assessment remains a vital tool for myopia diagnosis. By determining refraction, and its development in childhood, predictions can be made about the progression of myopia up to adulthood. EyeSuite Myopia overlays refraction and biometric data with normative value curves, showing possible treatment courses based on their appropriate control rates. Treatment options can be customized to match the eye care professionals’ experience and expanded to the newest insights from research.
