Patient Status
Step 1 of 9
First, what is the patient’s current myopia status?
Is an axial length measurement available for this patient? This will determine which risk table we use.
Select the patient’s ethnicity. This attribute contributes to the overall risk score.
Select the patient’s gender.
At what age did the patient first become myopic? Earlier onset is associated with a higher risk score.
Patient’s Age?
Patient’s Refractive Status?
Select the patient’s age first.
Do one or both of the patient’s parents have myopia?
How many hours does the patient spend outdoors per week? More outdoor time is protective.
How many hours does the patient spend on near tasks (reading, tablets, etc.) per week, outside of school time?
We will use Patient’s Age and Axial Length to calculate the AL risk score based on the guide’s grid.
