Myopia in Focus: WSPOS 2025 Consensus Statement

1. Dr. Ken K. Nischal Breaks Down the WSPOS 2025 Consensus Statement

The WSPOS 2025 Myopia Consensus Statement brings clarity to one of the most complex topics in pediatric eye care. In this episode of the WSPOS IME expert video series Dr. Ken K. Nischal distills the data into clear, evidence-based strategies for managing myopia progression.

The statement clarifies which interventions actually work, like defocus optical designs, low-dose atropine and daily outdoor light exposure, and debunks those that don’t, including undercorrection and bifocals.

Dr. Nischal also emphasizes practical behavioral strategies: spend 2 hours outdoors daily, avoid reading in dim light and take regular near-work breaks. Together, these steps form the foundation for real-world myopia control that’s guided by science, not speculation.
