It’s our job to re-create a healthy family system for our clients and foster an environment of secure attachment.

?? Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun? ?? No one said ortho-k was easy, and that's part of its appeal! The challenge and unpredictability keep things interesting, and the life-changing benefits for patients make it all worthwhile. Dr. Andrew Brauer shares an intriguing case study of a 12-year-old patient named Lily (name changed for privacy). Lily, diagnosed with myopia at age 9, tried atropine drops and multifocal contacts with little success. Her journey led her to ortho-k, where the unexpected twists provided valuable learning experiences. From double red rings to air bubble issues, every step taught something new. Lily’s story is a testament to the perseverance and adaptability required in ortho-k treatment. Check out the full article for a deep dive into the case and Dr. Brauer’s insights. ??
