This interactive workshop introduces the core fitting principles of scleral contact lenses and orthokeratology lenses. Attendees will learn the fundamentals of lens design, fitting strategies, and troubleshooting. The session then transitions into hands-on application, with participants fitting lenses on one another under guided supervision. Instructors will provide step-by-step instruction, clinical tips, and decision-making support. By the end, attendees will gain both knowledge and practical experience to improve confidence in managing these specialty lens modalities.
