Afraid for Myopia Development? OrthoK Can Be The Way!
Welcome to the
International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control
ABOUT US
Our primary mission is education.
We aim to educate and advocate for practitioners across the globe, including those in the US and Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Dubai, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, China, Mexico, Central and South America.
Our mission is to disseminate the latest scientific research on orthokeratology and myopia control, equipping our members with cutting-edge knowledge. We host educational events and webinars that attract participants from around the world. Furthermore, we take on the responsibility of establishing protocols that define the standard of care in this field. We are dedicated to raising awareness among the general public about the myopia pandemic and the measures that can be taken to mitigate its effects.
We offer podcasts, referrals to qualified myopia management practitioners, and other resources to help families make informed decisions to safeguard their children's vision. Moreover, we strive to educate the public about the option of orthokeratology (also known as corneal reshaping) as a method of myopia management for children, as well as a means to liberate adults from glasses or daytime contacts.
