The discussion focuses on common pitfalls, including inaccurate measurements, poor diameter selection, limited topography data, and misunderstanding lens design precision. Dr. Herzberg emphasizes that Ortho-K is not something you can casually implement. It requires commitment, attention to detail, and a willingness to continuously refine your approach.A major highlight of this episode is a clear and practical breakdown of Jessen Factor, what it is, how it works, and why it plays a critical role in effective myopia management. The conversation challenges common fears around overcorrection and explains how increasing treatment effect can actually improve outcomes when applied correctly.You will also learn how to troubleshoot difficult cases by working through the “usual suspects,” why 80 percent of fits can succeed even when imperfect, and how to close the gap on the remaining 20 percent that define true expertise.Beyond technique, this episode reinforces a mindset shift. Great Ortho-K outcomes come from precision, repetition, and ownership of the process, not shortcuts or overreliance on software.
