Ortho-K Practice Test

Corneal staining or irritation indicates disruption of the corneal surface, which can be worsened by lens wear. The best approach is to stop wearing the ortho-k lenses temporarily to allow healing, then carefully assess how the lens fits and how hygiene is being maintained. Check for mechanical issues at the lens edge, deposits, or signs of poor centration, and identify contributing ocular surface problems such as dry eye, lid disease, or allergies. Treat these surface issues (lubrication, lid hygiene, cleaning regimen, or lens replacement/review as needed) and re-evaluate once symptoms improve. If irritation or staining persists or worsens, seek professional evaluation promptly to adjust lens parameters or management plan.
