The solution for the future
Previously there was no all-in-one device available for performing refraction, axial length measurement and keratometry in combination. The only option was to purchase at least two devices, but this still left one with no myopia software.
The Myopia Master® from OCULUS now enables optometrists and ophthalmologists to position themselves optimally for the future. The Myopia Master® combines the most important parameters, making myopia detection and management much easier and more reliable than ever.
One measurement process, three parameters
Refraction
A refraction measurement is carried out in a matter of seconds and determines the eye’s refractive error. The sphero-cylindrical combination forms both the basis for subjective refraction and is also a fundamental parameter for myopia management.
Axial length
The axial length measurement is independent of the accommodation state of the eye. The measurement is highly accurate. An increase in axial length is a reliable indication of myopia progression. Axial length measurement represents the gold standard for recognizing eye length growth at an early stage.
Keratometry
The central corneal radii represent the refraction of the cornea. Combining this with the axial length and the total refraction of the eye enables an even better understanding of the human visual system.
Functions
Fast and contactless measurement
The Myopia Master® performs fast measurements of the most important parameters relating to myopia development. The measurement process only takes two minutes, is contactless and completely painless
Exclusive myopia management software
- The software guides you through the entire myopia procedure.
- It takes into account specific risk factors.
- The software generates the Myopia Report for patient education at home.
Reliable and reproducible results
The standard deviation of repeated measurements of axial length is about 0.02 mm equivalent to a refractive error change of 0.05 D.
Identify early, prevent later effects
Myopia is a major risk factor for various eye diseases such as retinal detachment, macular diseases and glaucoma. This makes it essential to not only to treat the symptoms of myopia but also to slow down the progression of the disease. The Myopia Master® software offers you innovative tools to provide your patients with the very best care.

Measurement
One measurement process, three parameters
Refraction, axial length, and keratometry are the main measures required for professional myopia management, but only in combination do they allow for individualized treatment and counselling.
Benefit from the unique measurement combination.
Data Analysis
Results interpreted on the basis of BHVI growth curves
The patient data is compared with age and genderdependent growth curves collected from more than 20,000 eyes. Exclusive algorithms from the Brien Holden Vision Institute (BHVI) now make interpreting the data easier than ever.
Benefit from an extensive database.
- Normative growth curves by ethnicity and gender
- Measurement data predicting axial length and refraction in adulthood of the right (R) and left (L) eye.
- Colour coding of the treatment
- Individual risk evaluation based on data analysis
Risk Identification
Environmental conditions and patient education
The Myopia Master® software provides a default questionnaire addressing the most important risk factors. Further risk factors can be added and customized using the Question Kit.
All information is based on peer-reviewed papers.
The Myopia Master® software assists the eye specialist in educating children and their parents.
Benefit from the questionnaire or create your own.
- Detailed explanation of risk factor
- Literature sources pop up on hovering
- Prolonged near work predisposes to myopia
- Colour scale for fast risk identification
Myopia Report
Evaluation-based treatment recommendations
Based on an evaluation of the questionnaire the eye specialist can select the appropriate treatment with a simple click or enter a personalized treatment. The Myopia Report for parents and children can then be sent to the patient by email or printed out together with the next examination appointment.
All of the results are clearly listed in the Myopia Report, which helps readers to understand their individual outcome.
Benefit from easy-to-understand material.
- Overview of the results analysis
- The digital Myopia Report can be sent by email or printed out together with the next examination appointment.
- Individual treatment recommendations on medication, contact lenses, spectacle lenses or lifestyle changes.
NEW: Growth Analysis
Keeping an eye on eye growth
Regular eye growth checks are an essential aspect of successful myopia management. This illustration clearly shows the changes in eye growth as well as treatment successes.
Benefit from treatment and lifestyle recommendations.
- The annual growth rate is determined from the measurements within the displayed interval and shown in the upper graph.
- Treatments with Ortho-K and Ortho-K Myopia have demonstrated good and very good treatment results.
GRAS Module – Anything but 0.0.
A new understanding of vision
Never has the interpretation of measurement results been as easy and reliable as with the new Myopia Master® . All individually measured refractive components of the eye are automatically matched with the Gullstrand standard eye model. This way you can always take your bearings by the gold standard. Not only does this save you time, it also provides an ideal basis for explaining the results to your patients. Best of all, OCULUS has adapted the Gullstrand eye for children, providing even better care for this important target group.
Case Reports & Best Practices
Case Report
Myopia Case Report – New standard of care in children
Author: Max Aricochi, Myopia Expert, Isser Optik, Innsbruck, Austria
With progressive myopia already experiencing an extreme increase over the past few years, this drastic situation is further fueled by the changing eye demands associated with the Covid-19 crisis. This Case Report shows how myopia management was performed in an 8-year-old exophoric patient.
Case Report
Myopia Management with Orthokeratology
Author: Jaume Pauné, PhD, Optometrist, Orthokeratology Specialist, Centro Médico Teknon, Barcelona, Spain
In myopia had been stated that avoid overcoming 26 mm of axial length or less of -6.00 D is of importance. Even more, if we know that every additional dioptre increases myopic maculopathy by 67 %. Today, orthokeratology (OK) is a gold standard for optical devices. Between them, Double Reservoir Lenses (DRL) easily allow customization, as changes in back optic zone diameter, for better myopia control in children.
Case Report
Myopia management for pre-myopia
Author: Dr. Philipp Hessler, M.Sc. Optometrie/Vision Science, CEO Optik Hessler, Erlenbach a. Main, Germany
The increasing myopia prevalence opens a new field for optometry. Educating parents and kids about risk factors, monitoring regimen and treatment options is an ethical responsibility as well as a new task for preventive optometry to identify those at risk for developing axial elongation along with severe eye health issues later in life.
Case Report
Alarming high myopia managed with multi focal contact lenses
Author: Stefan Schwarz FAAO, MCOptom, Diplomate in Cornea, Contact Lenses and Refractive Technologies, Hildesheim, Germany
Over the last years, myopia management has become a major focus in the practical work of many eye care specialists. Current management options typically involve contact lenses or atropine. This Case Report describes the approach taken in a pre-myopic patient.
Best Practice
Operations with the Myopia Master
Author: Dr. Sal Jivraj BSc (Hons) OD, MBA FAAO FEAOO FCOptom FBCLA, Calgary, Canada
I was initially introduced to the OCULUS Myopia Master® in 2019 (in the UK) and I was very excited to try out this new device which would enable me to measure axial length, refraction and keratometry, all at the same time. Previously there was no all-in-one device available for performing refraction, axial length measurement and keratometry in combination.
