Meredith W. Morgan Lecture: Complications of Contact Lens Wear: Should We Be Worried?

COPE Course #90132-CL: Contemporary contact lenses have reduced the frequency of many complications, but mechanical complications, inflammation, infection, and conditions associated with the eyelid persist. New wear modalities present a different challenge to the ocular surface. This presentation will examine the most recent evidence for contact lens complications, how to diagnose and classify them, how common they are and will propose strategies to both manage and avoid them.

Utilizing Axial Length Data in Myopia Management

COPE Course #89996-GO: Measuring axial length is now a routine component of myopia management, but it remains difficult to put axial length data into context. What do the baseline measures mean? How much growth is due to physiological growth of the eye vs. excessive axial elongation due to myopia? This course will summarize the literature related to axial length and myopia and ensure that myopia management practitioners are able to use axial length data that they collect with confidence.
