In MCCL\u2010prescribing practices, the proportion of contact lens wearing children fitted with MCCLs and the proportion of progressive (\u2264\u22120.25\u2009D\/year) myopic children fitted with MCCLs were determined. Logistic regression was used to determine which factors influenced the likelihood of being prescribed a MCCL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, just 10 practices were found to prescribe MCCLs of any type. The Coopervision MiSight contact lens was used in 85% of all MCCL fittings with most other fits being off\u2010label multifocals. The use of MCCLs rose from 3% of contact lens fits in 2017 to 27% in 2021. Children fitted with MCCLs were on average younger (12.2\u00a0\u00b1\u20092.3\u2009years vs. 15.4\u00a0\u00b1\u20092.1\u2009years) but more myopic (\u22123.46\u2009\u00b1\u20091.84 D vs. \u22123.03\u2009\u00b1\u20091.69 D) than those fitted with standard contact lenses. The most predictive factors for being fitted with MCCLs were year of examination (OR: 2.54, 95% CI: 2.13, 3.03), younger age (OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.39, 1.64) and greater myopia (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.39).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinician engagement in myopia management has increased in Ireland since the formal introduction of MCCLs, but more than two\u2010thirds of practices included are yet to offer this form of myopia management. The proportion of children with progressive myopia that has been prescribed MCCLs has increased, but the majority of children are still managed for vision correction only. There is significant scope for improving the uptake of evidence\u2010based myopia control treatments and for optimising the age and degree of myopia at which such interventions are initiated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/opo.13096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,18]],"date-time":"2023-01-18T08:59:37Z","timestamp":1674032377000},"page":"377-387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prescribing patterns of myopia control contact lenses among optometrists in Ireland"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3919-444X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Moore","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Eye Research Ireland, School of Physics and Clinical and Optometric Sciences Technological University Dublin  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7004-6026","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel Ian","family":"Flitcroft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Eye Research Ireland, School of Physics and Clinical and Optometric Sciences Technological University Dublin  Dublin Ireland"},{"name":"Children's University Hospital  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3130-8991","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James","family":"Loughman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Eye Research Ireland, School of Physics and Clinical and Optometric Sciences Technological University Dublin  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2016.01.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(20)30489-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18632\/aging.203374"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2011.03.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaophthalmol.2020.1231"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1167\/iovs.61.4.49"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjophthalmol-2017-311266"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0420.2006.00847.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.125.1.38"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaophthalmol.2016.4009"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/OPX.0000000000001410"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0124535"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjophthalmol-2018-313739"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaophthalmol.2022.0401"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2018.05.029"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2021.04.032"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_18_1","unstructured":"FolkessonP.The standard of care for myopia management by optometrists.World Council of Optometry Resolution; April 13 2021.
