Lenstar Myopia Now Includes New AMMC Framework by Prof. Dr. Hakan Kaymak
Haag-Streit has announced that the Lenstar Myopia now includes the new AMMC framework by Prof. Dr. Hakan Kaymak. The new Age-Matched Myopia Control (AMMC) framework is designed to provide diagnostic support based on the eye’s axial growth for myopia management.
The AMMC framework provides data on the eye's expected length growth, considering age and gender. The eye care professional can compare axial length growth speed to a broad demographic database.
As axial length growth is normal at a young age, it is essential to discern pathological axial length growth from emmetropic growth quickly, according to Haag-Streit. It provides normal length growth in the same visualization, providing a clear therapy goal tailored to the age and state of the specific patient. AMMC also allows eye care professionals to observe and assess axial length growth over time and overlay treatments. This makes it possible to rapidly understand therapy effectiveness, allowing the eye care professional to adjust the individual patient's therapy as required.
Additionally, AMMC can help to uncover developing myopia based on excessive axial length growth before it becomes visible in refraction. Therefore, treatment can be administered at the earliest point, even in pre-myopic children, to keep axial length growth in a physiological range.
Simplified visualization of myopia progression is presented in a parent-friendly manner in a highly flexible and customizable Myopia Report. The report, which is based on myopia.care, provides parents with easy-to-understand information in familiar traffic light colors, enabling them to actively participate in the myopia management process and commit to and support the appropriate treatment for their child.
“The alliance with Prof. Dr. Kaymak and his team has enabled us to provide a truly unique diagnosis tool. The AMMC framework is exclusive to Haag-Streit, and is only available, as standard, in the Lenstar Myopia," said Dominic Ernst, Lenstar Myopia Product Manager.
