Myopia management leadership and modern orthokeratology self-learning in troubleshooting

Abstract

dc:description

Nguyen, Liberty Hai Ho Advanced myopia is rising, with 2.56 billion myopic-affected people worldwide (World Health Organization, 2020). Myopia Management Leadership & Self-learning in Orthokeratology is an instructional design textbook focusing on the Ortho-K learners' perspective in troubleshooting. This modern Ortho-K education is a concise and advanced curriculum that encourages learners to think purposefully and concentrate on the learning outcomes. The textbooks will help learners understand how to design an Ortho-K lens that effectively molds the cornea, emphasizing the dispensing set application to improve the intervention outcome. In addition, the other instructional designs, such as The Backward Model in Understanding by Design, a model that focuses on the curriculum outcome, will improve the Ortho-K learning criteria for: • Successful applying Ortho-K treatment and troubleshooting • Applying effective Ortho-K protocol, hygiene, and precautions • Applying Ortho-K leadership & management • Practicing effective Patient Handbook with Safety & Precaution • Providing outstanding patient care, ethical decision, & customer services • Independent with educators & Ortho-K mentors • Being creative in lens design, Ortho-K marketing & cost-saving application • Significances of research’s findings: Dispensing users (prior to the customized lens) improve the therapeutic duration four times faster, reduce the exchanged lens frequencies by 4.85 times, and significantly improve the patient's 20/20 visual acuity: twice (2.24 times) in uncorrected visual acuity & 1.35 times in best-corrected visual acuity. ▪ Lastly, the customized lenses should be rescripted for high cylinder patients with high or low myopic status.
