Objective:

To explore how cloud-based platforms are transforming clinical practice in orthokeratology (ortho-k) through data-driven decision support and enhanced efficiency.

Key Findings:
  • AI-assisted prescription systems significantly reduce the number of trial lenses required.
  • Cloud-based platforms support consistent outcomes and lower barriers for novice practitioners.
  • Predictive models can estimate the risk of lens decentration, aiding in targeted clinical management.
Interpretation:

Intelligent cloud-based platforms enhance the ortho-k fitting process by improving accuracy, efficiency, and safety while supporting clinical judgment.

Limitations:
  • There is a learning curve associated with new technologies.
  • Clinicians must avoid over-reliance on automated recommendations, especially in pediatric cases.
Conclusion:

Cloud-based platforms refine the art of ortho-k by supporting accurate fits and safe clinical practices, contributing to predictable and patient-centered care.
