Key Points:

- Without a referral system in place with a local optometrist, many pediatricians experience a knowledge gap when it comes to the latest technologies in optometry, and the treatment options available for their patients.

- These pediatricians are interested in making these connections with eye care providers to better educate themselves, and parents on the treatment options available in order to give their patients the best care.

- Open communication and referrals between eye care providers and pediatricians can build greater trust among shared patients and help facilitate conversations with parents to better understand the importance eye health and myopia management for their child.
