From all of us at BHVI and Review of Myopia Management, thank you for your incredible support during 2025.

This continues to be a truly global movement, powered by a passionate community of eye care professionals from every corner of the world. We’re proud to say we couldn’t do it without you!

The journey isn’t over yet — research projects that nearly 50% of the global population could be myopic by 2050. But together, with your ongoing dedication, we can change the future of vision care.

👋 Say hello to version 2 of the BHVI Myopia Calculator!

Trusted by thousands of eye care professionals worldwide, the BHVI Myopia Calculator has been the go-to tool for myopia progression prediction since its launch in 2017.

As a result of the increased availability of research data, BHVI has provided a major upgrade to our free online myopia calculator to continue supporting optometrists in making informed, evidence-based decisions for myopia management.

Developed in collaboration with leading myopia researchers from Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Centre (China), Ulster University (UK), and Linnaeus University, Sweden, the BHVI Myopia Calculator has expanded its measurement capabilities with a range of advanced features across refractive error progression, axial length, and myopia onset.

A key ask by Vision 2020 Australia to the Federal Government has been realised with the announcement of investment for assistive technology (AT) in the Indo-Pacific.

The commitment is part of the new International Disability Equity and Rights Strategy, launched at Parliament House today, ahead of International Day of People with Disability on December 3.

It includes $12 million to expand access to essential assistive technology across the Indo-Pacific.

This mirrors Vision 2020 Australia’s ask of the government to allocate an additional $12 million to improve access to affordable, high-quality assistive technology and wrap around services, in partnership with Pacific-led organisations.

As the national peak for eye health and vision care, this call for action has been led by our members with expertise in the region, such as The Fred Hollows Foundation, the Brien Holden Vision Foundation and CBM Australia, as well as consultation and support from like-minded organisations including The Australian Council for International Development (ACFID), and the Australian Disability and Development Consortium (ADDC).

Our CEO, Carly Iles, today joined a delegation of organisations dedicated to advancing disability equity to discuss the need for increased support of Assistive Technology (AT) in the Pacific with the Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Pat Conroy.

AT can play a critical role in ensuring people with both reversible and irreversible vision loss remain independent, benefiting the health, economic and social well-being of individuals and communities. Well-prescribed, low-cost equipment can allow people with irreversible vision loss to perform daily tasks with independence. For those with reversible vision loss, AT solutions like glasses and surgery can restore vision, often without further intervention.

Vision 2020 Australia is calling for the Australian Government to help improve the quality of life, health and participation of the millions of people in South-East Asia and the Pacific, where the need is immense and who urgently need assistive technologies.
