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.

Eso deviation often present as a constant esotropia occurring in infancy or early childhood. Fusional divergence is used to correct for an eso deviation, however our innate divergence amplitude are typically weak. Measuring only 6 – 8 prism diopter. It is likely that our weak divergence amplitude contribute to the poor control of eso deviation. (more…)

Exo-deviation is an outward deviation which can be divided into exophoria and exotropia. Exodeviation are quite common, and they are not necessarily. A small intermittent exotropia is normal in most newborns, as 70 % of normal newborns have a transient exodeviation that resolves by 2 to 4 months of age. Another type of exo deviation that is considered normal is a small exophoria (<10pd). (more…)

A healthy retina is necessary for good vision. For diabetic retinopathy patient, at first they may notice no changes to the vision. But over time, diabetic retinopathy can get worse and cause vision loss. It usually affects both eyes. (more…)
