Frequently asked questions
Anyone who wants the freedom of clear vision without having to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day. People with an active lifestyle, fitness fanatics and avid swimmers. Adults who are considering laser vision correction but whose vision is not yet stable enough for surgery, or who shy away from the risks of permanent laser surgery. Children are especially good candidates for Ortho-K lenses - they can see clearly at school and in all their sports and activities without the risk of breaking or losing their glasses or daytime contact lenses. At the same time, it's a great treatment option for kids with progressive myopia.
During the first few nights when your eyes are getting used to the lenses, you may experience a slight irritation and itch after inserting the lenses. This is normal and nothing to worry about. The sensation is mainly from your eyelid moving over the lens when you blink. When you go to bed and close your eyes, you will not feel anything and the lenses will not affect your sleep.
Ortho-k is a flexible form of myopia treatment. If your child forgets to wear contact lenses or skips a night, most of the vision correction he or she has is retained. The more nights spent without contact lenses, the blurrier the vision becomes until it is completely uncorrected again. Many children can skip a night without significantly worsening their visual acuity.
