Modern technology has led to the development of EyeDream, a kind of contact lens that can correct your mild to moderate short-sightedness as you sleep. The type of technology that led to EyeDream is Ortho K- short for orthokeratology, and has already improved the daily lives of many people in Orpington that find glasses or soft lenses restrictive.
One of the best things about Ortho K contact lenses is that they aren’t just restricted to adult wear. Children suffering from myopia are also eligible, and Ortho K lenses can often slow the progression of the condition as their eyes develop.
In order to wear Ortho K contact lenses, you must have a spherical prescription that falls between -0.75D to -5.00D. You will also be eligible is you have astigmatism of up to -2.50D.
Ortho K contact lenses are an alternative solution to those in Orpington concerned about other ways of dealing with myopia. The advantages of taking the Ortho K ruote include:
Laser eye surgery is a possible cure for myopia, but many people in Orpington and beyond are concerned about the risks associated with invasive procedures. Ortho K contact lenses, due to their temporary effects, are low risk and can often produce similar results.
Many of our Ortho K contact lenses patients in Orpington have expressed their improved quality of life, not having to worry about being restricted by glasses or regular contact lenses.
Glasses wearers, or parents of children who need glasses, may worry about frames getting accidentally lost or broken. Ortho K contact lenses are worn at night, meaning lens wear among children can be monitored at home.
