Learning Objectives

  • Analyse and interpret ocular surface measurements to optimize orthokeratology lens fitting.
  • Identify various orthokeratology lens designs available in Oceania and understand the differences in fitting approaches.
  • Fit orthokeratology lenses including adjusting parameters for optimal fitting and selecting appropriate lens materials.
  • Formulate an appropriate history and symptoms (including social history), and testing protocol to assess patient attributes to enhance success in orthokeratology lens wear.
  • Advise patients on the potential benefits and risks associated with orthokeratology lens wear based on individual attributes.
  • Provide clear and concise instructions to patients and parents on the proper care and maintenance of orthokeratology lenses.
  • Integrate orthokeratology into the practice operations by developing efficient workflows and protocols for seamless implementation.
  • Establish staff training programs to ensure the team acquires the necessary skills and knowledge to support orthokeratology fittings and follow-up care effectively.
  • Design comprehensive follow-up protocols to monitor patients' progress, address any issues, and optimize the success of orthokeratology lens wear.
  • Incorporate patient education materials into practice operations to inform and prepare individuals for orthokeratology lens wear and aftercare.
  • Implement a systematic approach to record-keeping and data management for accurate tracking of patient outcomes and long-term success in orthokeratology treatment.
  • Regularly evaluate and improve practice operations related to orthokeratology to enhance patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
  • Demonstrate effective communication techniques for explaining orthokeratology treatment plans to patients and addressing their concerns.
