May 19–25, 2025, marks Myopia Awareness Week, and this year’s theme, “Screens Down, Eyes Up!”, is a timely call to action for the entire eye care community. 

At Topcon Healthcare, Inc., we’re proud to support the recognition that myopia is a public health concern. With the global prevalence of myopia expected to reach 50% by 2050¹, now is the time to focus on early intervention, lifestyle awareness, and clinical strategies that can help manage and slow myopia progression. 

Throughout the week, we’ll be spotlighting insights from leading clinicians, promoting educational content, and sharing resources that support practitioners at every stage of their myopia management journey.

Topcon MYAH: Build, Manage, and Grow Your Myopia Practice 

The Topcon MYAH is a versatile, multifunctional device built for myopia management. Designed for reliability and efficiency, MYAH offers a holistic solution for monitoring axial length, assessing the corneal profile, and evaluating meibomian gland health—all in one, patient-friendly platform.

Why MYAH Stands Out: 

• Measure and track axial length measurements using Optical Low Coherence Interferometry 

• Corneal topography with aberrometry and white-to-white measurements 

• Dynamic and static pupillometry to assess pupil size and response 

• Meibomian gland imaging with contrast enhancement 

• Myopia trend reports and progression analysis to assess efficacy over time 

With quick, noninvasive capture, MYAH makes it easy to collect reliable data and share intuitive visuals with patients and parents, improving communication and supporting better long-term outcomes.
