News & Events

We created a new website for myopia specialists and all ECPs who want to get started on myopia management. Check out www.myopia-master.com and find out about the future of myopia, the future about our children and how you can help your young patients by slowing down myopia progression.
Learn how you can benefit from the unique combination of refraction, axial length and keratometry in the OCULUS Myopia Master® and that you can master myopia in just 7 steps!

“Determining Progression in Ectatic Corneal Disease” is the title of the reviewed article published in the November/December 2020 issue of the Asia-Pacific Journal of Opthalmology. Michael M. Belin and his co-authors Reza Alizadeh, Emilio A. Torres-Netto, Farhad Hafezi, Renato Ambrósio Jr and Bojan Pajic give a comprehensive insight why “the emergence of CXL as a viable treatment to alter the natural progression of keratoconus heightened the need for improved diagnostics”.
The article is provided as open access.

Myopia Profile and OCULUS have commenced a partnership to increase ECP knowledge and clinical confidence in measurement and interpretation of axial length in myopia. Specific educational content, research summaries and case studies will be developed, to be housed on MyopiaProfile.com and shared across the partnership’s multiple platforms.

Christian Kirchhübel, CEO of OCULUS announces: “We are excited about the cooperation. OCULUS is focused on supporting eye care professionals around the globe. We are dedicated to saving and improving vision and visual performance with our precise, reliable long-lasting measurement solutions. We are known for innovations and their transformation, from the lab bench to the dedicated general eye care professional.”

Myopia Profile is the world’s largest and most popular multi-platform digital suite for myopia management. Founded in 2016 by optometrist husband-and-wife Dr Paul Gifford PhD and Dr Kate Gifford PhD, Myopia Profile has grown from sharing of Kate’s self-developed clinical paper-based tools to a comprehensive website, online learning academy and more, with over 3 million active engagements per year across the platforms.

The Belin ABCD keratoconus progression display, which is part of the standard Pentacam® software, now includes data to objectively evaluate progression after CXL treatment.

In a recent study, Prof Michael Belin (USA), Prof Farhad Hafezi (Switzerland) and Prof Berthold Seitz (Germany) evaluated a group of patients aged 11 to 66 years in a time span from 12 to 115 months after CXL treatment. The resulting confidence intervals have been integrated into the Belin ABCD Progression Display, allowing retrospective objective evaluation of corneal behaviour after CXL treatment.

The results were first presented at the CXL Experts’ Meeting 2020 and will be presented in summary as an electronic poster at the ESCRS Winter 2021.

Don’t miss the ESCRS Experts’ Round on 20 Feb, where Prof Michael Belin will present the new features of the Belin ABCD Progression Display.

The Dry Eye series continues - with Brian Tompkins and Keyur Patel of TK&S optometrists, UK. The experts will demonstrate the ideal patient journey and discuss selected cases with you. Register here!
