The Evolution of Myopia Control and Nature vs. Nurture

Published: May 26, 2023, 2 p.m.

Dr. Ian Flitcroft joins hosts Craig Norman and Dr. Jason Jedlicka at the Global Specialty Lens Symposium in Las Vegas to discuss his work as a myopia specialist. He describes how his first presentation on myopia occurred in 1996, long before awareness, understanding, and common treatment of the disease became widespread. Flitcroft also discusses his years of research identifying factors that influence myopia’s onset and progression, and the effect of genetic blueprints versus environmental stimuli.
