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.

RODENSTOCK MyCon™ Lenses

Rodenstock MyCon™ lenses are designed to correct myopia and manage its progression in children. Myopia often progresses more quickly in children whose parents are nearsighted. If both parents are nearsighted, the risk rises to 35 up to 60%. Today's children are more focused on activities right in front of them. For instance using tablets, computers, or doing homework, rather than spending time outdoors. Conventional single vision lenses can correct myopia, but they do not address its progression. Instead, these lenses often project light behind the retina. This can lead to excessive eye growth in some children and worsen their nearsightedness. NORMAL Lenses MyCon™ lenses With MyCon™ lenses, light is dispersed to strike the peripheral areas in front of the retina rather than behind it. So this helps slow down the…

Prevalence and Causes: Colour vision deficiency affects approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women worldwide.
