5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Ortho-k is a technology for myopic correction that allows patients to avoid daily contact lenses or glasses.

• 2

  Epithelial thickness mapping (ETM) is becoming a standard practice in ortho-k to assess corneal changes pre- and post-treatment.

• 3

  AS-OCT technology enables precise measurement of epithelial thickness and corneal topography during ortho-k fitting.

• 4

  Post-ortho-k treatment typically shows central epithelial thinning with potential thickening in surrounding areas.

• 5

  The case study illustrates the importance of proper lens fitting and monitoring of epithelial thickness in achieving optimal visual outcomes.
