How do you move from fitting Ortho-K lenses to designing them? In this episode of The Myopia Mindset, host Matthew Herzberg closes out the Road to Vision by Design 2025 series with two of the field’s top fitters: Dr. Sherman Tung and Dr. Laurence Wong.

Before he was known as one of the most respected minds in orthokeratology, Dr. Kenneth Maller was simply an optometrist obsessed with understanding lenses — how they work, how they fail, and what they can teach you if you pay attention.

Three thousand papers are published on myopia every year. How do you know which ones matter? Dr. Langis Michaud breaks it all down—and Dr. Cary Herzberg explains why Vision by Design is the Super Bowl of myopia science.

Taking over a trailblazing Ortho-K practice comes with high expectations. Dr. Andrew Brauer shares how time, empathy, and personal experience helped him find his identity as a myopia management practitioner.
