5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Orthokeratology lenses retain a thin tear reservoir overnight, potentially reducing dry eye symptoms in patients.

• 2

  A 10-year-old patient with progressive myopia and dry eye symptoms was successfully treated with custom ortho-k lenses.

• 3

  High-Dk rigid GP materials are recommended for overnight ortho-k wear to enhance corneal oxygenation and clinical outcomes.

• 4

  The selected ortho-k lens design optimized for the patient's corneal topography and HVID improved comfort and visual acuity.

• 5

  Prioritizing corneal health and using high-Dk materials is essential in modern ortho-k practice to minimize complications.
