Dr. Cari Cannon Shares Her Experience with the Marco AL-Scan Myopia for Myopia Management
The Marco AL-Scan for Myopia is quick, smooth, and very easy for children.
Since the pandemic, there's been a notable uptick in myopia due to increased screen time, and the need for effective, data-driven tools has never been more critical." - Dr. Cari Cannon
Dr. Cannon explains that a rise in screen time during the pandemic has led to a noticeable increase in childhood myopia in her practice. As a result, the need for efficient, data-driven tools like axial length measurement has become more important than ever for early detection and effective treatment planning.
“We can actually measure the length and see a change even before we see a change in the prescription.”

Key Benefits of Axial Length Measurement
Early Detection
Changes in axial length often appear before a prescription shifts, giving clinicians a head start in managing progression.
High Sensitivity
A mere 0.4mm increase in axial length equals 1-diopter, highlighting its precision over traditional refraction methods.
Parent Education & Planning
Real-time growth graphs help parents understand myopia as a progressive disease. This data also helps monitor myopia progression for more informed treatment decisions.
