September 29, 2024 - Change Agents from all states convened in Chicago on Sept. 6 to 8 for The Myopia Collective’s inaugural Change Agent Workshop. The three-day event offered presentations on scientific advancements, educational seminars on community engagement, and networking opportunities, empowering participants with the knowledge and tools needed to enhance myopia management in their practices and strengthen their advocacy efforts. A collaboration between the American Optometric Association (AOA) and CooperVision, The Myopia Collective unites eyecare professionals, researchers, and advocates to shift the focus from merely correcting myopia, to providing comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for children.
