If you or your child has myopia, sometimes called nearsightedness, you may be wondering how to treat it. Myopia means that distant objects appear blurry, and near objects appear clear. This can make it difficult to see the board in school or simply enjoy activities such as watching a movie. Fortunately, there is a unique treatment known as Ortho K, or orthokeratology. This way of controlling myopia is safe and effective, and it is done through the use of special contact lenses. So now that you know a little bit about Ortho K, let’s dig deeper and learn how it works and how it may be the solution for you or your child!
Ortho K is a special contact lens worn overnight while you sleep. The lenses themselves are rigid, but can be designed to be gas permeable. They slowly reshape the cornea, the front part of your eye, while you sleep. You may encounter difficulties concerning your vision, and this restructuring qualifies your sight. "When you wake up in the morning and you take the lenses out, you can see clearly all day no issues with glasses or regular contacts." That’s because your vision doesn’t have to get in the way of you playing sports, going to school, or doing all the things you love to do. And the gentle pressure that the lenses put on my eye helps slow the progression of nearsightedness over time.
Myopia is not just an issue for kids and teenagers. It can cause difficulty seeing things far away, such as a teacher writing on the board or a sign across the street. If untreated, however, myopia can worsen as children age. Research indicates that Ortho K can be very effective at reducing the progression of myopia in kids and teens. Daily use of Ortho K lenses can help keep children’s myopia to better levels and keep them from relying on glasses or contact lenses. This can be a huge help in their day-to-day lives, as it allows them to feel more at ease and confident.
Ortho K lenses are primarily dedicated to myopia control, but they also may be the best option for some who wear standard contact lenses. Wearing traditional soft contact lenses for extended periods of time causes discomfort for many people. Ortho K lenses are more comfortable and do not dry out your eyes quite as much. They also reduce your risk of eye infections which is vital for maintaining the health of your eyes. Another benefit of Ortho K lenses is you only wear them at night. This means you can go about your day without the fuss of wearing and removing daily contacts. You have a new life where you can continue swimming, play sports, or go out with friends without being concerned about your contacts.
And unlike most myopia treatments that are only temporary solutions, Ortho K lenses have important long term physiological benefits. Besides slowing down myopia, these lenses can also lower the risk of developing other serious eye problems associated with high myopia, like retinal detachment and glaucoma. These are serious, progressive conditions that can stay with you for life, and affect your vision. Additionally, children and adolescents who wear Ortho K lenses are less likely to require eye surgery in the future. That can prevent them from requiring a more invasive, large surgery down the line in life.”
