3 reasons why to choose Orthokeratology

Why choose Orthokeratology

Ortho-K (or Orthokeratology) is a non-surgical way of being free from eyeglasses and daytime contact lenses. The process involves wearing specially designed lenses that correct your vision while sleeping. The lenses are removed after waking up with clearer vision without wearing any corrective lenses.

Here are three reasons why to choose Ortho-K:

1. It’s been clinically proven to slow down the progression of children with Nearsightedness. Ortho-K has been one of the most effective ways to slow down Nearsightedness among children, especially those who have inherited their Myopia from their parents.

2. Ortho-K is excellent for people who have increasing Nearsightedness. The reason is that Ortho-K lenses will need to be replaced in the future. Changing the lenses is a good opportunity to update the prescription if needed.

3. The effect of the OrthoK lenses are temporary. Stopping the treatment will make the eye return to its normal state. This is great for people who may want to try other methods to be eyeglass free. For example, if a child is still too young for LASIK surgery, they may choose Ortho-K until their age is appropriate and the status of their eyes are suitable for surgery.
