Myopia Management Therapy At Pupila Family Eye & Ear Care

The general length of your treatment will be primarily determined by your prescription and your compliance with the prescribed Ortho-K wearing schedule. Ortho-K lenses are to be refitted annually like a soft contact lens. Typically, we expect to see 90% of the vision changes within the first week of treatment and full treatment within the first 30 days. Some eyes will require a longer period to complete the process. Thereafter, the lenses will have to be worn routinely to maintain treatment vision.
What is included:
  • All check in appointments throughout the therapy include a 30min wellness check which include testing Visual Accuity, Overall health of the surface of the eye, and Topography testing which maps the surface of eye.
  • Specialty Contact lens fitting
  • Specialty refitting’s (Ortho-K fits are not the same as a soft contact lens fitting, however they are to be done annually to maintain the therapeutic results.)
  • Lens training (insert and removal)
  • Medical visits pertaining only to the Ortho-K therapy program
(If patient in not complaint with the care and wear schedule then this will not be covered and will be considered an out-of-pocket cost.) ,

Check In Schedule:

Therapy follow-up visits will occur in the order of:

1 Day,1 Week (7th day), 1 Month (30th day), 2 Month (60th day), 6th Month, 8th month (if needed)

Follow-up schedule will restart in year two from the date of Comprehensive exam.

Any additional follow-ups may be requested should there be any complication with the patients wearing schedule. Therapy follow-ups are crucial to treatment. We are mapping the surface of your eye as you are being treated. Constant monitoring is important for the first 60days of the therapy.
