No! While orthokeratlogy can help most individuals (including long-sightedness, short-sightedness and astigmatism), the procedure is effective to prescriptions falling within a specific range. Additional factors may include individual corneal rigidity, ability to wear contact lenses, allergies and dry eyes. A thorough consultation and examination at Lamas and Brown Optometrists, using advanced computerised diagnostic instrumentation can easily determine if orthokeratology is suitable.
Once the desired reduction in prescription is achieved, regular contact lenses are not needed. Glasses may be needed for reading or other part-time use.
Overnight wearing of the lenses is surprisingly comfortable, as the process of blinking is general what leads to discomfort with contact lenses. Most patients are unaware of their presence within a very short time after insertion.
The contact lenses are worn whilst you sleep. In the morning you remove the contact lenses and enjoy the benefits of clear vision without correction during the day
The complications of wearing contact lenses include ingrowths of vessels, ulcers, and abrasions. The risks associated with wearing contact lenses overnight are higher than wearing contact lenses only while awake. Contact lenses cannot become lost behind the eye (this anatomically impossible) and it is rare for Ortho-k lenses to become decentred from the cornea.
No! Maximum results are achieved when lenses are worn on an ongoing basis. Once the patient stops wearing the lenses the pre-existing prescription will return.
Ortho-k is a process using contact lenses that progressively reshape the front surface of the eye (the cornea) whilst sleeping. The effects are similar to laser surgery in correcting visual prescriptions.
The wearer's eyes will return to their pre-treatment prescription after about 2 weeks. Depending on how long Ortho-k lenses have been worn, this process may be as long as 30-90 days.
