The American Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control

The American Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control (AAOMC) is a non-profit organization focused on advancing the science and clinical practice of orthokeratology and myopia management. It aims to support eye care professionals through education, research, and clinical excellence, particularly in managing myopia progression in children and young adults. AAOMC serves as a key resource for practitioners interested in orthokeratology, a non-surgical procedure that uses specialized contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. This method improves vision during the day without the need for glasses or daytime contacts. The organization hosts educational conferences, such as the annual *Vision By Design* meeting, to provide training and share the latest research and techniques in myopia management. While AAOMC does not manufacture products, it promotes the use of advanced ortho-k lenses and myopia control technologies developed by manufacturers. The organization primarily serves eye care professionals, including optometrists and ophthalmologists, helping them incorporate effective, non-surgical treatment options into their practices.
