Matthew Herzberg hosts a panel of AAOMC experts on this episode of The Corrected View podcast for a discussion inspired by an article from Myopia Profile: Is Orthokeratology Useful For Control Of Low Myopia?. Jonathan Skoner, OD FIAOMC serves as lead presenter, with Cheryl Chapman, OD FIAOMC, and special guest, Michael Lipson OD, FAAO. Matthew serves as moderator for the discussion.

Topics Covered In This Episode: Is Ortho-K useful for control of low myopia?

• What do we consider low/high myopia?
• Axial Length as a progression indicator in pre-myopes/emerging myopes
• Why do we question OrthoK MC efficacy in low vs high myopes?
• What can we do to increase OrthoK MC efficacy in low myopes?
• Based on the statement "there is no normal degree of myopia": How soon should OrthoK be considered for MC?
• What degree of myopia (diopters or axial changes, progression?) would be considered medically appropriate to not intervene with some sort of myopia control method and instead utilize traditional vision correction methods such as SV glasses/contacts?
