About Myopia Profile

Myopia Profile is the internationally trusted go-to information resource on clinical myopia management for eye care professionals. Developed by husband-and-wife optometrist team Drs Paul and Kate Gifford, it was first built around the Clinical Myopia Profile patient communication tool developed by Kate from over 15 years’ experience in her Brisbane CBD practice. Starting as a bulk email to share the tool, then a website, then a Facebook group, then online courses and more, Myopia Profile has now grown into the largest and most popular, multi-channel educational resource dedicated to childhood myopia management.

What makes Myopia Profile unique is our breadth of activity, our depth of experience and our engagement with our community. Our three pillars of activity are providing accessible, clinically relevant professional education; developing clinical resources to support patient care; and raising public awareness. Our team has real-world expertise in clinical myopia management, practice development and patient communication, which underpins everything we do. We are experts in translating research into practice: always at the forefront of the latest science, on the search for the clinical pearls to apply in patient care. We provide the first and largest protected space for professionals to discuss myopia management, science and innovations through the exclusive Myopia Profile Facebook group.

If you want to get in contact with us, Myopia Profile founders Dr Paul Gifford and Dr Kate Gifford welcome connections via email and LinkedIn, or through the Facebook group.
