Personality Trait Classification

What myopia control method are you?

Just give them the clinic's business card. It's easier and you won't have to think of how to explain it yourself!

Send them an educational TikTok. It's very informative!

Do they want a live demonstration? A pamphlet, perhaps?

Ask them if they want to come over and try yours right now!

Q7: Recommendation

Q7

Your friend is interested in myopia control as well. What do you tell them?

Can't we try again with the current method? I like these lenses...

Is it covered by my insurance? I have VSP.

Well, what's going wrong with the current one?

Q5: Changing Treatment

Q5

The attending tells you that your current method isn't working as well as they'd like, and recommend switching to a different option.

How do you respond?

Hm... will you still be able to attend lecture after?

Look around the waiting room -- who else is waiting? Is it just you?

Be patient, they're trying their best. Cheer them on in your head in the meantime!

Ask front desk what's going on -- are you still going to be seen today?

Cancel your appointment, you can reschedule for another time.

That's okay! Time to pull out your iPad and start studying in the meantime.

Q1: Welcome to MYC!

Q1

Welcome to MYC! Unfortunately your 4th year clinician is running 45mins behind because the previous patient struggled to put on their lenses. 

How do you feel?

They're talking for a long time... Oh no, you're going blind!

Start looking around the room. Whoa, how long has those can of beans been in here?

Try to piece together what they're saying. Is it good or bad...?

Q4：Attending

Q4

The student comes in with their attending, and they start discussing your results for a bit in front of the monitor.

What are you doing?

As prescribed. You've never missed a day. Your axial length is sooo stable!

Show them your phone alarms! Even if you forget, your reminders won't let you.

You didn't wear them last night, but surely they can't tell. Right? Right??

Be honest: not as much as you should. School has been busy, okay?

Q2: It's time for your appointment!

Q2

It's time for your appointment! Your clinician asks how often you've been using your control method.

How do you respond?

Sorry, you were scrolling on TikTok. What did they ask again?

I have a midterm in an hour, I'm not so sure...

Sure, blast me! Prop + trop + phenyl, the full cocktail.

Q3：Dilation

Q3

Since it's your annual exam, are you okay with getting dilated today?

Wonder if this will really be effective. What if your VAs are now 20/20 instead of 20/15??

Wake up and check your VAs. 20/20-3, lookin good!

You have no thoughts. It's only been one day!

Time to start journaling your thoughts -- Day 1!

Q8: Thoughts?

Q8

As you wake up the next morning, you wonder how this new treatment will work. What are your thoughts?

Immediately start calling the 24-hour help line. I think the lens is decentered and it hurts! Help!

Looking over my exam summary handout... How long do I rub these lenses?

Time to get down to business, it wasn't too hard when you learned it during the appointment.

Q6：Trying out something new

Q6

You go home, ready to try your new myopia control method!

How do you go about it?
