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.

ZEISS, using the SmartView Technology in the production of new design lenses, is founded on the consumer’s insights and scientific research of today’s modern visual behaviour and individual age-related vision needs. The SmartView Technology allows the Smartlife Digital Lens to be designed for anyone with a connected and all-day-use lifestyle who experience tired eyes or near vision discomfort.

The advantage of ZEISS Smartlife Digital Lens:

Large distance zone

Smartlife digital lenses support unrestricted eye movement, allowing a wide distance view that is free from blur and distortion.

Compressed Corridor

Single vision wearers experience eye accommodation to have a clear mid-range vision and have to always tilt up their heads to read. The new lens design eases the view by compressing the corridor, to achieve a better near vision in all directions.

Comfortable Near Zone

Each wearer has a different prescription power and decreases in the accommodation level. Therefore, ZEISS Smartlife Digital is eligible to customize the power range from 0.50 D to 1.25 D in addition to power for more comfortable reading.

ZEISS Smartlife Digital Lens is designed for more natural body and head posture while reading, and more than 73% of wearers after trying it did not feel strained eyes after the end of the day. So let’s get a pair of ZEISS Smartlife Digital Lens today!
