“As we enter 2025, I’m honored to continue serving as GMAC Board Chair alongside our board members,” said Olga Prenat. “While awareness of myopia has grown, there’s still much to be done, particularly in educating parents about their critical role in shaping their children’s eye health. As a coalition, we’re committed to expanding our outreach and collaborating closely with health care organizations and professionals to ensure families everywhere have the tools they need to manage this growing health concern.”

As myopia rates continue to rise worldwide, GMAC remains dedicated to combating the myopia crisis through awareness, advocacy, and collaboration with key stakeholders and health care associations.
