We are searching for myopic children, and their parents, to serve as patient experts who can help to shape health economics research into the burden of the disease.
The project aims to investigate the economic burdens of paediatric myopia. We want patient collaborators to help this work stay representative of their lived experiences.
We are looking for myopic children, under the age of 18, and their parents to volunteer for a 2 hour online session and share their experiences.
