Build, Manage and Grow Your Myopia & Dry Eye Practice
MYAH
MYAH offers all the technologies required to support myopia management: optical biometry, corneal topography and pupillometry — it is a one-time investment. In addition, MYAH is an all-in-one device that offers an evolving platform that provides the tools to add or grow Dry Eye Management.
Key features
Corneal Topography including keratoconus screening and pupillometry
Axial Length Measurement
Progression reports for analyzing treatment efficacy
Dry Eye Assessment Tools
Monitor the progression of myopia and compare measurements with the growth curves for axial length.
Myopia and dry eye questionnaires
Myopia greatly impacts the quality of life and personal development of children*

It has never been a better time to join the battle against the global myopia epidemic. MYAH is the perfect instrument for eyecare professionals interested in building, managing and growing a myopia service.
Building a myopia management practice requires you to educate your patients and their families about the implications of myopia progression, to manage the condition and to grow your service offering.

BUILD YOUR MYOPIA MANAGEMENT SERVICE
MYAH provides the initial baseline to monitor risk, allowing you to start the conversation early with parents.
MANAGE: MONITOR AND COMPARE
MYAH provides essential information to monitor eye elongation and compare axial length measurements with built-in growth curves.
GROW YOUR MYOPIA MANAGEMENT SERVICE
Offering axial length screening tests may complement your refraction tests.
Introducing MYAH’s Growth Curves
MYAH allows you to monitor the progression of myopia and compare measurements with the growth curves for axial length. The majority of myopic eyes become myopic principally because of excessive axial elongation1.
By using the extensive axial length dataset collected by Erasmus University (Rotterdam, NL)2, or the dataset on Chinese children (Shanghai)3,4, now incorporated into MYAH, you can monitor axial length and then compare the patient’s data with normative growth curves. You will thus be able to better understand a child’s risk of myopia in adulthood.

Dynamic Pupillometry
Provides clear information on the reaction time and size of the pupil, which may be useful to monitor low dose atropine compliance or to titrate the dose of atropine. The user can examine pupil centration and diameter over a range of light levels, which is useful for Ortho-K and multifocal lens fitting, and is also informative for pre and post-refractive surgery.
Contact Lens Fitting
MYAH provides support for contact lens fitting, reducing the number of lenses that need to be trialed on the eye:
• Includes a database of conventional RGP and Ortho-K lenses.
• Export topography data to 3rd party calculator
• Fluorescein simulation with ability to save and review data.
Dry Eye Assessment Tools
These tools offer non-invasive Tear Break-up Time (NIBUT), Meibomian gland imaging with the area of loss analysis, tear meniscus height analysis, blink analysis, real fluorescein imaging and video acquisition, and video review of anterior corneal aberrations between blinks.
Corneal Topography
MYAH offers another range of tools to analyze the anterior cornea, including topographic maps, 3D maps, comparison maps, height maps, Zernike analysis and keratoconus screening.
Corneal Aberration Summary
The Zernike expansion coefficient is used to determine which component(s) dominate the aberration structure of the cornea and to what degree. The anterior corneal Zernike summary consists of 36 polynomials up to the 7th order and provides a clear view of the optical irregularities that can impact the quality of vision.
