Abstract
Currently, the management of myopia represents a critical focus within the fi elds of optometry and ophthalmology. This the rapid proliferation of myopia across numerous nations notably those with extensive populations such as Russia, China, USA. Moreover, the increased interest in myopia management emerges from innovative optical correction methods specifically designed to slow the progression of myopia. Consequently, the presence of multiple optical intervention options necessitates judicious decision- making by clinicians regarding the selection of a particular method. The effectiveness of myopia control measures is further attributable to the development of a treatment plan and long-term dynamic observation. Such an approach allows for the timely modification of treatment protocols to ensure the stabilization of eye axial length growth and correction of. The term «Myopia progression management medical technology» is encompasses various procedures designed to prevent the onset of myopia, diagnose and treat progressive myopia, and assist physicians overseeing patients with myopia.
