角膜塑形療法Orthokeratology 是視光學中的一個專門領域，專注於通過定制設計的隱形眼鏡來管理近視。在這個領域專精的視光師評估角膜形狀，配戴個性化的鏡片並密切監測患者的進展。藉著應用角膜塑形療法，視光師提供個體化的近視管理，有效減緩近視進展並降低相關風險。他們的專業知識確保視力得到最佳改善，同時優先考慮患者眼部健康。通過使用特殊設計的鏡片，角膜塑形療法提供了一種非手術且可逆的替代方案，以管理近視。

Orthokeratology is a specialized field in optometry focused on the management of myopia through custom-designed contact lenses.  Optometrists evaluate the shape of the cornea, fit personalized lenses and closely monitor the patient's progress.  By applying orthokeratology therapy, optometrists provide personalized myopia management, which can effectively slow down the progression of myopia and reduce related risks.  Their expertise ensures optimal vision improvement while prioritizing patient eye health.  Orthokeratology therapy offers a non-surgical and reversible alternative to manage myopia through the use of specially designed lenses.
