Experiences of orthokeratology – revealing case studies

In this article I will discuss two case studies concerning the first two patients I fitted with orthokeratology lenses plus a sequence of topography images from a patient who decided to stop wearing orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses.

After returning from the course run by one of my lens suppliers, I was keen to try out the lenses but preferably on someone I knew so I could more easily keep a close eye on the results. Luckily, I had two trainee dispensing opticians in my store who were both very keen to try ortho-k correction. They were also the only myopes in store with prescriptions in the recommended range.
