Huvitz Myopia Management HBM-1 (M)

The Myopia Management module update introduces a new level of precision and efficiency in long-term patient monitoring. With standardized treatment recording, professionals can now ensure consistency across all myopia control records, while the enhanced growth curve visualization and Axial Length Trend tracking provide a deeper understanding of patient progression patterns. These improvements enable clinicians to detect subtle changes earlier, optimize treatment strategies, and deliver more personalized and effective myopia control.

Myopia growth chart enlargement and Y-axis scale adjustment compatibility

The Y-axis scale adjustment within the display area improves the detection of subtle changes, reduces the need for reconfirmations, and increases consistency in the interpretation of results.

Treatment Database + Editor

The updated Treatment Database and Editor significantly improve workflow efficiency by eliminating repetitive data entry and introducing color/status visual layers for quick identification of treatment changes and durations. Previously limited to six treatments and requiring manual entry for each patient, the system now supports an unlimited number of treatments that can be shared across patients. Users can also customize overlay colors and view the current in-treatment status in real time, enhancing clarity and optimizing patient management.

Axial Length Trend (mm/Year)

The Axial Length Trend function calculates the annual rate of change in axial length and visualizes risk zones through Fast, Moderate, and Slow (F/M/S) growth bands. The entered values are displayed as annual changes (mm/year), allowing clinicians to quickly identify curvature patterns and acceleration or deceleration zones. This clear visual representation enhances the ability to evaluate progression trends and determine the patient’s risk level at a glance.

Select Report Output Elements

The enhanced report customization function allows users to select specific binocular or monocular data for output, improving clarity and reducing redundancy. Clinicians can now generate reports focused only on essential information, increasing consultation efficiency and ensuring consistent presentation through customizable preset settings. This update also minimizes errors and confusion by preventing duplicate printing and improving the readability of charts and visual data.

Planned Updates

Default Screen Layout

The new Default Screen Layout provides a more intuitive and streamlined navigation experience. By selecting Option 1, users are directed to the Patient Treatment Information section, where detailed clinical and treatment data are displayed for efficient case review. Selecting Option 2 opens the Percentile Curve Position Change by Ethnicity, allowing clinicians to analyze percentile variations and compare growth trends across different demographic groups. This organized layout enhances workflow efficiency and ensures faster access to critical patient information.

Step 1: Adjusting the Chart Scale

By clicking the Chart Scale button, users access the Myopia Growth Chart Expansion & Y-Axis Scale Adjustment function. This function allows precise customization of the chart display parameters:

* X-Axis: Age
* Y-Axis: Axial Length (AL, mm)

Both the X-axis and Y-axis have a minimum value of 2, ensuring accurate scaling for detailed visualization. Simply enter the desired values and select OK to apply the adjustments.

This enhancement enables a clearer observation of subtle growth patterns and facilitates a more consistent interpretation of myopia progression data.

Step 2: Registering a Treatment

For registering a treatment, click the Setup button (1). The Setup window will open — select Myopia (2) and click the + button (3). This will open the Add Treatment window (4), where you can define the treatment name in the Treatment Name field and choose a color in the Color option. Once finished, click Save to access the Treatment Editor window (5).

With this update:

* Treatments can be registered with a method and color, with no limit on the number of colors.
* Registered treatments can be set as defaults and automatically applied to all patients, eliminating the need for individual registration.

This improvement simplifies the workflow, reduces data entry time, and provides a more organized visualization of treatment progress.

Managing Treatments in the Treatment Editor

In the Treatment Editor window, the applied treatment methods and their respective colors are displayed. Clicking Button 1 will open the Treatment Date window, allowing you to select the start and end dates of the treatment period.

After defining these dates, return to the Myopia Management window. Clicking Button 2 will allow you to view the colors assigned to the treatments, facilitating quick identification of the duration and status of each treatment.

This function enhances traceability and provides a clear visualization of each patient’s treatment timeline.

Display Current Treatment Status by Patient

In the Myopia Management window, click Option 1 to open the Treatment Editor. Then, click Option 2 to access the Treatment Date window, where you can choose to display the current treatment status. This will generate the view shown in Window 4.

By clicking on the color bar of the active treatment, the system displays the Start Date and the indication “In Progress”. Once the treatment is completed, simply select the End Date in step ③ to complete the record.

This feature enables clear visualization and precise tracking of each patient’s current treatment status.

Step 3: Planned Updates

The upcoming enhancements to the HBM-1 Myopia Management module include Myopia Questionnaire and Dual Chart functions. These additions will further expand diagnostic capabilities and improve patient management, providing clinicians with more comprehensive tools to track myopic progression and offer personalized treatment plans.
