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.

Wearing contact lenses is different from wearing eye-glasses. Because they are worn directly on your eyes, the contact lenses will affect any way your eyes function. These effects tend to increase the length of time the lens stays on your eyes before removal.

Although a large number of people manage to wear contact lenses without problems, before you decide whether to start or continue wearing contact lenses for everyday wear, you need to get consultation from your optometrists regarding the effect of contact lenses on your eyes and the risk associated with wearing contact lenses. Let’s meet Malaya Optical Optometrists for consultation regarding your eyes.

However, it is important to not wear your lenses longer than recommended by your eye care specialists since doing so increases the risk of adverse effects. Since only your eye care specialists can determine how your eyes react to the contact lenses through a professional eye examination.

The Bausch & Lomb Ultra contact lenses are indicated for daily wear or extended wear for up to 7 days between removals for cleaning and disinfecting of the lens as prescribed by your eye care specialists. Despite, sleep with Bausch & Lomb Ultra with an extended wear, once the lens are removed, your eyes should have a rest without lens wear for at least one nights.

Still, if you face some problems with your contact lenses and lens care products, it could result in serious injury to your eye, thus, it is essential that you have to follow all labelling instructions for proper use of the lenses and lens care products, including the lens case.

The risk of microbial keratitis (infected corneal ulcer) complication are caused by a weakening of the cornea’s resistance to infection; improper lens disinfection; poor personal hygiene; unsuitability to the particular lens or wearing schedule; damage to the lens; improper fitting or due to length of wearing time. As a result, the specialist’s have to set up the overnight application period from up to 6 nights and 7 days of continuous wear.
