Abstract
The disease of myopia has come into focus as a worldwide public health concern. Myopia
has shown increasing prevalence, incidence at earlier age and progression to a higher
degree. Progressive increase in degree of myopia is strongly associated with increase
in axial length of the eye. Various interventions have been shown to slow axial elongation
in children. These interventions have been studied to assess efficacy in slowing axial
elongation and correction of vision. In addition, research into quality of vision,
risk of adverse events, overall safety and impact on vision-related quality (VR-QoL)
of life has been pursued. In contrast, studies have been published to demonstrate
the risks of myopia, high myopia and increased axial length. This review will discuss
VR-QoL assessment on the most effective and most commonly prescribed interventions
to slow axial elongation and myopia progression. The patient attributes considered
are VR-QoL scores from validated instruments. The development and use of validated
survey instruments to assess the patient-reported outcomes is discussed. The review
demonstrates that there are numerous factors that may impact VR-QoL to evaluate in
the decision-making process when eye care providers consider when, how and if to prescribe
myopia management (MM) for children with myopia.
