5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Ortho-k fitting techniques evolve with experience, emphasizing the importance of peripheral alignment curves over just the central bullseye.
-
2
Effective ortho-k lenses require attention to the alignment zone, which can be improved with toric or quadrant-specific peripheral curves.
-
3
A poorly fitted ortho-k lens can lead to negative outcomes, such as decreased acuity and discomfort due to improper alignment curves.
-
4
Understanding the central lens-corneal relationship is crucial for successful ortho-k fitting, particularly regarding tear movement and exchange.
-
5
New fitters should focus on achieving stable outcomes through proper peripheral alignment rather than solely on the central bullseye.
