Patient: 31 YO Female
Condition: Myopia OU with GPC

Presentation:
Patient works in a lab setting where she has wears a face mask and goggles, causing her glasses to fog up. She is also prohibited from wearing soft contact lenses in the lab. She is looking for an alternative to wearing contact lenses at work and has expressed interest in Ortho-K as a solution to meet her visual needs in her career.
