Understanding the e-value is crucial for clinicians to enhance first-fit success in orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses. A successful first fit hinges on a clinician's comprehension of the technology, including metrics such as shape, size, and elevation. An e-value of 0.50 or higher significantly correlates with improved refractive power changes, aiding in patient evaluation and fitting outcomes. By predicting fitting difficulties and setting expectations accordingly, clinicians can enhance patient satisfaction, reduce revisions, and optimize practice profitability.
