Episode 61 - SUPPORTERS PREVIEW: Ortho-K Benefits And How To Communicate Them To Parents (Part 2)
Knowing the benefits of Ortho-K is one thing but getting parents to understand and say yes is another.
In Part 2 of this Myopia Mindset podcast conversation, Dr. Matthew Martin, Dr. Leah Johnson, and Dr. Cary Herzberg dive into how to communicate Ortho-K effectively to parents, bridging the gap between clinical knowledge and real-world decision-making.
This is where many practices struggle, not because Ortho-K doesn’t work, but because the message isn’t landing.
In Part 2, we cover:
How to frame Ortho-K in a way parents immediately understand
The biggest communication mistakes doctors make
How to simplify complex concepts like myopia progression
Positioning Ortho-K as a necessity, not a luxury
Building trust and confidence during the consult
If you’ve ever had a parent hesitate or say no; this podcast episode focuses on how optometrists can communicate the value of orthokeratology to parents, improve patient acceptance, and increase success in myopia management through better consultation strategies.
