Activity Outline
Orthokeratology Fundamentals is a world first, self-paced online course to guide you through the theoretical and practical foundation you need to get started fitting your first few patients with OrthoK. Specifically designed for the new OrthoK fitter, this course will help you understand key background concepts, capture awesome topography images, select the right candidates and then step you through lens fitting, the first night follow up, one week follow up and beyond. In six modules which are each comprised of several lessons, core concepts will be described in video and text based tutorials. A downloadable, graphics rich summary is available at the end of each module, along with multiple choice questions to test your learning. The objective of this course is to set you up for success and build your confidence with practice, safe OrthoK practice.
