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 Myocare Lenses

Zeiss MyoCare lenses are designed to address the issue of myopia in children and young adults. They are made with a unique optical design that reduces the amount of stress and strain on the eyes during near work, such as reading, writing, and using digital devices. This can help slow down the progression of myopia and improve overall visual comfort. Myopia is a common eye condition that affects millions of people around the world. It typically develops during childhood or adolescence and can progress throughout adulthood if left untreated. The condition is caused by the elongation of the eyeball, which results in light being focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This causes distant objects to appear blurry while nearby objects remain clear. The key to…
