Today, myopia (nearsightedness) in children is on the rise, yet many children are reluctant to wear glasses. That's where Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, comes in – a non-surgical method of myopia control specially designed for children. Let's explore the advantages that Ortho-K offers:
Refractive surgery (for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) is a top choice for achieving perfect vision without the need for eyeglasses. However, it typically requires a stable refractive error, which means patients must be at least 18 years old to undergo the procedure. Ortho-K, on the other hand, eliminates the need for eye surgery, it offers safety and non-invasiveness, allowing children to use Ortho-K lenses to slow down the progression of myopia.
Users can experience improved vision immediately after wearing Ortho-K lenses overnight.
After using Ortho-K lenses overnight, children have clear vision throughout the day without the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses, allowing them to be more active and better participate in sports.
Ortho-K lens is made of a gas-permeable material and is safe for use overnight during sleep.
Ortho-K is an FDA-recognized method that works by reshaping the cornea. Numerous studies have shown that it can help control worsening myopia in children.
