Fitting custom Ortho-K lenses used to mean extended chair time, trial-and-error modifications, and cautious patient expectations. But with smart data automation, achieving first-fit success is quickly becoming the new clinical standard for pediatric myopia management.
In a recent case report authored by Dr. Roxanne Achong-Coan, a 12-year-old male presenting with progressive myopia was successfully fit with custom WAVE Ortho-K NightLenses on the very first attempt. By pairing the Topcon MYAH diagnostic platform with WAVE Lens Designer CAD software, baseline corneal topography and biometric data were seamlessly exported and translated into precise, customized lens geometry—eliminating manual data entry.
The clinical results were immediate and impactful:
- 20/20 Uncorrected Vision: Achieved in both eyes, providing the patient with clear, functional vision that lasted all day.
- Ideal Lens Mechanics: Post-fitting evaluation revealed well-defined bullseye fluorescein patterns and uniform treatment zone centration.
- Streamlined Practice Efficiency: The integrated software workflow eliminated the need for diagnostic trial lenses, saving valuable chair time while offering a smooth, comfortable experience for the young patient.
As myopia continues to grow rapidly, adopting automated, evidence-backed fitting tools helps keep your practice at the forefront of clinical excellence while building deep trust with families. When we minimize diagnostic friction, we give our patients the seamless care they deserve—and free time to focus on what matters most.
