Objective:
To highlight the role of technology in lens design and monitoring in the management of pediatric myopia using orthokeratology, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.
Key Findings:
- The patient achieved 20/25 uncorrected visual acuity within the first week and 20/20 by the one-month follow-up.
- Minimal axial elongation of +0.06 mm in OD and +0.05 mm in OS was observed at the six-month review, suggesting effective myopia management.
- High-resolution elevation and axial length data were crucial for optimal lens design and treatment efficacy.
Interpretation:
The integration of advanced biometric data into ortho-k treatment allows for precise customization and effective monitoring of myopia progression in pediatric patients.
Limitations:
- The case report is based on a single patient, limiting generalizability.
- Long-term outcomes beyond six months were not assessed.
- The lack of diverse patient demographics may affect the generalizability of the findings.
Conclusion:
Utilizing technology in pediatric myopia management, particularly through ortho-k lenses, demonstrates significant potential for improving patient outcomes and managing myopia progression effectively.
