Orthokeratology, general screening
by Alain-Nicolas Gilg, MD
A 34-year-old male presented with the request to have his soft contact lenses changed because of
progressive intolerance during the day.
Subjective refraction resulted in a visual acuity of
OD:
sph -2.50
OS:
sph -1.00
The Pentacam® Show 2 Exams display showed an optimal eccentricity on the 30° meridian of both
eyes, namely 0.50 in OD and 0.49 in OS, permitting us to propose an orthokeratology treatment to
this patient
(Figure
221).
After fitting the lenses, examinations prior to midday revealed a good visual acuity of 0.8 on day 1
and of 1.0 on days 8 and 28.
