Myopia Control with OrthoK; Size Matters by Dr. Jaume Pauné Fabré

Online Optom Learning Series (OOLS) Sessions

Dr. Jaume Pauné Fabré, a practicing optometrist, educator, and researcher, explains the need for myopia management. We briefly learn about myopia and orthokeratology.

  1. Myopia prevalence 
  2. Myopia associated pathologies 
  3. Orthokeratology and myopia management
    1. Orthokeratology optics 

After understanding myopia control and orthokeratology basics, we learn about the different factors that can affect myopia control.

  1. Age and myopia control
  2. Pupil Size 
  3. Higehr Order Aberration 
  4. Imposed Defocus: Dose-dependent response 
  5. Plus power ring 
  6. Plus power ring and pupil size 
  7. Obtaining a smaller treatment zone diameter
  8. Customizing lenses 
  9. Monitoring Myopia 
  10. When to start and stop myopia control 

Dr. Jaume Pauné Fabré summarizes the talk with a few take-home points. The session ends with a question and answers segment for the live audience.
