Have you heard of ortho-k? This is a remarkable new technology in vision correction. Ortho-k lenses are in some ways the exact opposite of regular contacts. Instead of taking these contacts out at night, people actually put them in at night and sleep in them. The lenses gently reshape the eye overnight, which corrects many refractive errors. It also reduces the risk of retinal changes, glaucoma, and other issues.
Ortho-k is most often used to treat myopia, or nearsightedness. However, it can also be used to treat hyperopia and astigmatism. That said, ortho-k isn’t the right option for everyone. Your eye health and condition are of course one major factor that will determine if they are right for you. Corneal shape and thickness are also factors. They are also great options for many athletes, people who don’t care for wearing glasses or contacts, people with dry eyes, and children with progressive myopia.
Ortho-k lenses do not typically make permanent corrections. You’ll need to talk to your Los Angeles, CA eye clinic about what to expect, and whether orthokeratology lenses are a good option for you. Click here to know more.
