1) What did you find most helpful or encouraging about being under Dr. Lo’s care? How was your experience transitioning to Ortho-K?
“Dr. Lo stands out as a healthcare provider, because she doesn’t make you feel like she is in a rush and takes the time to answer any questions or concerns you have.”

“I had never worn contact lenses before starting Ortho-K, but wanted it. I was able to overcome the initial nervousness because my dad helped me put them in and take them out in the beginning. Now I feel very comfortable doing it myself. Also, my mom was invested and encouraged it, because my prescription had gotten a lot higher at one of the visits and Dr. Lo recommended these lenses.”

2) Personally, what benefits of Ortho-K are you happiest about?
“I don’t have to wear glasses and it’s really convenient. I feel confident and more comfortable not having to wear glasses"
