Abstract: The article discusses the debate on whether combination treatments should be the standard of care for myopia management. While some argue that combining different treatment modalities may provide synergistic effects, others believe that the evidence supporting combination therapy is weak and the benefits are modest. Factors such as efficacy, compliance, financial burden, and management complexities need to be carefully considered when deciding between monotherapy and combination treatments. The article highlights the need for further research to determine the best approach for maximizing efficacy in myopia treatment. [Extracted from the article]
