REFERRING YOUR PATIENT
Our practice strongly believes in working with fellow practitioners in providing the best options for myopia management for their patients. Any patients referred to our clinic for myopia management will be referred back to their primary eye care practitioner for ongoing and routine care outside of myopia management visits. Our goal is to provide treatment that is synergistic to level of eyecare to your patient to help them achieve best outcomes for their ocular health.
Initial consultations for myopia control will include review of binocular vision status, cycloplegic examination to assess prescription accuracy and axial length measurements. Evidence shows that eyeball length (axial length) and curvature are more predictive of risk of myopia than your child's glasses prescription numbers. Fees for this consultation are not covered under the OHIP insured services or comprehensive examinations.
We recommend that the last comprehensive eye examination was completed less than one year ago to have the best accuracy in determining candidacy. Any patients that have not completed an eye exam within the past year will require a comprehensive examination prior to the myopia control consultation.
