August 10, 2009 - 11:40 am Doctor Ben - Dr. Bonilla-Warford, Thanks for the comments. I try to stay abreast of the newer technologies and implement them the best I can. Ortho-k is a passion of mine and it is easy for me to get on a roll when I speak about it. My Orlando, Sanford, and Lake Mary based patients can now log on whenever they have time and hear a more detailed description of what orthokeratology is really about. I summarized most of the questions and answers I have on the subject from my 9 years of fitting ortho-k lenses. Thanks again, Dr. Ben Larson

August 10, 2009 - 11:34 am Doctor Ben - Dr. Eger, Thanks for the kind comments. I try to convey the benefits of ortho-k in as unbiased a way that I can. I see orthokeratology as an alternative option for a patient to consider when they are making a decision on what is best for their lifestyle, personality, and visual needs.

August 10, 2009 - 10:35 am Doctor Ben - Dr. Sukoenig, Thanks for the blog and visiting our website. I appreciate your interest in orthokeratology and I did have several video links on this website in the past from several news stations I have been interviewed on. If you search "ortho-k" or "orthokeratology", or "Dr. Ben Larson in Lake Mary, Orlando, or Sanford Florida on Fox News (2001 and 2008), Channel 6 News, or Channel 13 News you will find these informative videos on their websites. Thanks, Dr. Ben Larson

August 3, 2009 - 4:16 pm jeff eger,OD - Very good communications,easy to understand,you use the correct materials (Boston Xo and material Randy Sakomoto represents),and don't come off as a pompous expert.Are you going to Phoenix convention? Jeff Eger ,O.D. F.I.O.S.

August 3, 2009 - 12:35 pm Nathan Bonilla-Warford, OD - Dr. Ben, Great job explaining the procedure and exceptions for ortho-k! What a great use of the new communication technologies to improve awareness. Do you do these teleconferences on a regular basis? Do you rotate by subject? Perhaps I'll look into this idea. Do you do seminars in your office as well? - Nate BW, OD
