Orthokeratology is an innovative and rapidly evolving area within optometry that provides us with the opportunity to expand our roles and improve patient outcomes through advanced lens design techniques. This highly interactive masterclass seeks to deepen understanding and enhance skills in this specialised field.
Philip Cheng, a fellow of the International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control, will provide you with expert tips on patient selection and lens fitting. Learn how to manage patient and parent expectations and troubleshoot common issues. Discover how to effectively use a corneal topographer to evaluate corneas for suitability of orthokeratology and assess lens fitting and treatment outcomes.
