The eye care professional will provide guidance on cleaning, disinfecting, and storing your lenses, as well as the recommended replacement schedule.

Addressing Concerns and Questions: This appointment provides an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns or questions you may have regarding your contact lenses. Whether it's about comfort, vision, or general lens-related issues, the eye care professional will address your queries and provide appropriate solutions or recommendations.

Follow-up Plan: Depending on your individual needs, the eye care professional will determine the frequency of your contact lens aftercare appointments. They will establish a follow-up plan to ensure ongoing monitoring and support for your contact lens wear.

Here is an average fitting service description for Ortho-K:

Initial Consultation: The Ortho-K process begins with an initial consultation, during which the eye care professional assesses your suitability for Ortho-K. They will evaluate your eye health, prescription, corneal shape, and other relevant factors to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.

Corneal Mapping and Measurements: If you are deemed a potential candidate for Ortho-K, the eye care professional will perform corneal mapping and measurements using specialized instruments. These measurements help create custom-designed contact lenses specifically tailored to the shape of your cornea.

Custom Lens Fitting: Based on the corneal measurements, the eye care professional will order custom-designed Ortho-K contact lenses for you. These lenses are typically rigid gas-permeable lenses that are specifically designed to gently reshape the cornea while you sleep.

Lens Insertion and Training: Once your Ortho-K lenses are ready, the eye care professional will provide hands-on training on how to properly insert, remove, and care for the lenses. They will guide you through the process, ensuring that you are comfortable and confident in handling the lenses.

Follow-up Appointments: Ortho-K requires regular follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of corneal reshaping and assess the overall effectiveness of the treatment. The eye care professional will evaluate the fit of the lenses, measure visual acuity, and monitor your eye health throughout the treatment process.

Ongoing Lens Management: As you progress with Ortho-K, the eye care professional will continue to provide guidance on lens care, hygiene, and wearing schedule. They may make adjustments to the lens parameters based on your visual needs and corneal response.

Long-Term Management: Ortho-K is typically an ongoing treatment process. The eye care professional will establish a long-term management plan to ensure that your cornea maintains the desired reshaping effect. This may involve regular check-ups, lens replacement, and ongoing support to optimize the outcomes of Ortho-K.
