opti 2022: Spotlight on myopia management - Opticians, optometrists and eye specialists, all working together

The last two years also marked a boost to digitalisation in people’s private lives. Working from home and home schooling during the day, reading the news on smart phones or tablets and facetiming family and friends in the evenings. In these times of intensive use of mobile phones and similar devices, the subject of short-sightedness has become all the more important across all aspects of eye care. For this reason, myopia management is one of the key topics of the special opti show to be held at the Fairground Munich from 13 to 15 May 2022.
