Orthokeratology is a non-surgical treatment that uses specially designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea, the front surface of the eye. By wearing these lenses overnight, patients can temporarily correct their vision, allowing them to see clearly during the day without glasses or regular contact lenses. This method is particularly popular among children and teenagers who are experiencing myopia, or nearsightedness.
The process is safe and effective, with many users reporting improved vision after just a few nights of wear. Orthokeratology not only provides a convenient alternative to traditional vision correction methods but also helps slow the progression of myopia in younger patients.
