That\u2019s why we\u2019ve launched two new myopia management products, with both glasses and contact lens options for myopia management. We will help children, and their parents, select the right solution for them,\u2019 says Mr Gough.<\/p>\n<p>Registered Optometrists or Dispensing Optician can prescribe both our new products.
