The examination\u2010based model used: (1) the number of primary care eye examinations conducted annually and (2) the proportion of these that are for myopic young people. The prevalence\u2010based model used epidemiological data on the age\u2010specific prevalence of myopia. The proportion of myopic young people progressing \u22650.25 dioptres (D)\/year or \u22650.50\u2009D\/year was obtained from Irish electronic health records and the recommended review schedule from clinical management guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using the examination and prevalence models, respectively, the estimated number of young people with myopia was 2,469,943 and 2,235,713. The extra workforce required to provide comprehensive myopia management for this target population was estimated at 226\u2013317 FTE at the 0.50\u00a0D\/year threshold and 433\u2013630 FTE at the 0.25\u2009D\/year threshold. Extra visits required for myopia control treatment represented approximately 2.6% of current primary eye care examinations versus 13.6% of hospital examinations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Implementing new myopia control treatments in primary care settings over the medium\u2010term is unlikely to overwhelm the eye care workforce completely.
