The Global Council on Myopia Management (GCOMM) is pleased to announce its inaugural meeting in Toronto, Canada June 7-8, 2019.

The conference will showcase internationally renowned speakers to address all aspects of myopia management from current understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the disease to clinical treatment modalities of today and tomorrow, and integration of Myopia Management into the modern Optometric practice.  

Over 16 hours of COPE-approved Continuing Education will be complemented by expert-led workshops and presentations from industry-leaders providing a program that offers value to the both experienced myopia control practitioners and those considering adding this specialty to their practice.  

Dr. Edward Chow, GCOMM President, emphasized the importance of addressing myopia through education, “An estimated 1.5 billion people will be myopic by 2020. It is now more important than ever to spread awareness on this epidemic and provide education on prevention and treatment.”
