Any age restriction for Ortho-k?

No, both adults and children can wear Ortho-K lenses. The youngest patient we have was 6 years old, her mother worked with her every night and after 2 months, this cute girl was able to insert and remove the lenses by herself under her mom’s supervision. Also, we have few people in their 40’s and 50’s who love the freedom that Ortho-K brings to them. One eye was corrected for distance vision and the other for reading, this is known as “monovision”.

How quickly is my vision to improve with Ortho-K?

Your vision will improve after the first night and it will improve further and stabilise over the next two weeks of Ortho-K wear because your eye shape remodel with the treatment. For higher degrees of short-sightedness and astigmatism will take longer time to achieve optimum vision.

What prescriptions are suitable for Ortho-K?

Ortho-K typically works best for myopia (short-sightedness) between -1.00 to -6.00. The amount of astigmatism reduction depends on the type of astigmatism and amount. The upper limits for astigmatism reduction are 1.50 diopters of “with-the-rule” corneal astigmatism and 0.75 diopters of “against-the-rule” corneal astigmatism. Ortho-K will not have an effect on the internal astigmatism.

BIOFINITY - Optometrist

Biofinity is a monthly contact lens that is suitable for patients that are looking for excellent health and comfort from a lens. In addition to being ideal for new wearers, this contact lenses are also an ideal upgrade for existing wearers who want better lens performance. Biofinity is different from other high oxygen lenses because it features our exclusive Aquaform Comfort Science. This technology creates a naturally hydrophilic contact lens that retains water within the lens, minimizing dehydration. It also combines low modulus and high oxygen transmissibility for added comfort and breathability.

Benefits of Biofinity Contact Lenses

The patented Aquaform Technology in these premium monthly contact lenses has a 48% water content and a naturally wettable lens surface that lasts all day long. All of which ensures that your eyes stay hydrated throughout the day, while the silicone hydrogel material of the lens itself allows more oxygen to reach the eye than with most other soft contact lenses. This keeps them fresh and prevents them from drying out as the day goes by.

Ideal for those susceptible to dry eyes. Biofinity contacts are ideal to stand up to the demands of modern living, reducing the effect of air conditioning and digital screen use can have on your eyes, making them incredibly reliable.

How long can you wear Biofinity Contacts?

Biofinity contacts are monthly contact lenses and can be reworn for up to a month if you clean and store them nightly with a multi-purpose solution, such as our best-selling and affordable comfi All-in-One Solution.

Can you sleep in Biofinity?

Alternatively, if approved by your optician, these monthly lenses can be worn continuously with up to 6 nights/7 days of comfortable wear. This means you can wear them throughout the day and when sleeping for up to 6 nights/7 day without removal. These extended wear lenses give you total freedom in how you wish to wear them, and are ideal if your two weeks are never the same. However, you’ll need to speak with your optician to determine if your eyes are suited to sleeping in your contact lenses.
