Dr. Jordan Hamric Reveals the Future of Pediatric Optometry in a Screen-Dominated Age

In the ever-advancing field of optometry, one of the pressing issues that has come to the fore is the rise in myopia, especially among children. Recent research from the Beyoglu Eye Journal indicates that by 2050, nearly half of the world’s population could be myopic. So, the question that presents itself is: What can optometrists do to address this burgeoning problem and what innovations are available to manage it more efficiently in pediatric optometry?

In the latest episode of the ECP Viewpoints podcast by CooperVision, host Dr. Justin Kwan, Senior Manager at Myopia Management, delves deep into this issue with his guest, Dr. Jordan Hamric, an esteemed Optometrist at OPTICAL 101. Together, they explore:

  • Dr. Hamric’s personal experience and journey with myopia management.
  • The role of confidence and communication when discussing myopia with both children and their parents in pediatric optometry.
  • Innovative solutions and therapies, like the MiSight contact lenses, that have shown transformative results.
