As myopia rates soar, especially across Asia-Pacific, the 4th APMMS event spotlighted advanced solutions like CooperVision’s MiSight® 1 day lenses and multi-stakeholder collaborations. Experts and attendees emphasized the need for early intervention, reshaping myopia management to prioritise disease prevention.

Dr Goh shared that “The complications from both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have serious complications when they attack blood vessels. When this happens, it can cause microvascular heart diseases and lead to blindness, kidney failure, loss of sensations in the nerve and more. Macrovascular heart disease causes heart attack and stroke.

Type 1 diabetes usually has more complications and has a greater impact on reducing the lifespan. However, in both diseases, the life expectancy is reduced. Therefore, the patient is better off getting a reversal cure via metabolic surgery.
