Overview
The Graduate Certificate in Myopia Management is a one-year program designed to provide you with training in the clinical and theoretical aspects of myopia management. You will emerge with advanced disciplinary knowledge and the skills required for you to offer evidence-based management of myopia to your optometry patients.
