Abstract
Relevance: A tool for decision-making in the optometry clinic.
Summary: This work establishes evidence-based clinical recommendations for treatment selection in myopia progression control. An exhaustive literature review was conducted in biomedical databases following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) method. This methodology, accepted by international organizations (such as Cochrane, the Ministry of Health, Food and Drug Administration, etc.), defines how to conduct a search for scientific information and how it should be classified based on the quality of studies according to specific standards. From this organized information, clinical recommendations of varying strength are developed, taking into account a balance of benefit/risk of the intervention. After filtering more than 1000 publications, a series of clinical recommendations for various interventions aimed at controlling myopia progression have been developed. The use of standardized methodologies for developing clinical recommendations facilitates the interpretation and applicability of scientific research results.
