Proactive Myopia Management Orthokeratology Fits for the Astigmatic Patient – Dr. Kevin Chan
Get started fitting Ortho-K lenses for astigmatic patients to help manage their myopia.
Myopia in children is on the rise at an unprecedented pace in the US and worldwide, and orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses for children have shown great potential as an effective myopia management treatment.
When fitting Ortho-K lenses, however, practitioners sometimes encounter clinical uncertainties or roadblocks when it comes to patients with astigmatism. Having astigmatism does not necessarily prevent patients from wearing Ortho-K lenses. With proper tools and knowledge, the process for practitioners can be easy and patients can enjoy the many rewards.
Join industry expert Kevin Chan, OD, MS, FAAO, as he takes you through the scientific basis and application of fitting Euclid Emerald Toric Ortho-K lenses for myopia management and help your astigmatic patients see their full potential.
