Orthokeratology Aids in Temporarily Reshaping Cornea to Reduce Refractive Errors Such As Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigmatism

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) is the fitting of specially designed gas permeable contact lenses that you wear overnight. It y is considered an alternative to traditional eye care and is preferred by many over conventional medical practices. It entails the use of specially fitted and specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses that reshape the cornea in order to enhance the vision of the patient's eyes. It reduces refractive errors such as hyperopia, myopia, and astigmatism significantly.

In conventional lenses, the focus of light entering the eye is corrected by the position of the lens within the eye. With glasses, the focus is restored to its usual path through the cornea after the lens has been removed. Since the focus of light rays entering the eye is different for every person, these corrective devices are not a permanent solution to your vision problem.

With Orthokeratology, the light rays entering the eye are modified before entering the eye through the help of a specially-fitted gas permeable lens. These lenses provide a better view without the need for glasses. They work perfectly in all conditions even in foggy or cloudy weather. Moreover, they are highly comfortable to wear, allowing more oxygen to flow into the eye. In comparison to conventional eye care solutions, orthokeratology can give a permanent treatment for refractive errors.

A refractive error can cause discomfort and embarrassment. Some people are not comfortable using contact lenses because they feel that their vision is blurred. In addition, they have to buy separate contact lens to treat their myopia or hyperopia. Myopia is when the distance between objects is longer than 20mm. Hyperopia is when things are close but objects are far. This can be treated with the use of a conventional corrective eye lens. For a short time, a hyperopic person may require reading eyeglasses. However, in more severe cases, myopia and hyperopia can lead to serious eye diseases such as cataract and glaucoma.

Orthokeratology focuses on treating refractive errors using various minimally invasive techniques. Before orthokeratology, most people with refractive error have to wear glasses or contacts. These devices can be cumbersome and often break under rough handling. For people who want to eliminate their myopia condition, the most common treatment method is to wear glasses or contacts. However, there are more people who now prefer to use an orthokeratology procedure to treat their myopia condition.

When you undergo an Orthokeratology procedure, your doctor will examine your eyes and perform several tests to pinpoint the causes of your refractive error. During the test, your doctor will determine if your myopia problem is due to hereditary factors, eye injury, disease, muscle strain, or stress. Then, your doctor will provide you with the right corrective eyewear. Usually, the procedure will last for about two to three hours. However, it can vary depending on the severity of your refractive error. If you opt to have the procedure done on an outpatient basis, you will be able to return home after your operation.

If you experience dry eyes, myopia or hyperopia condition, you should consider undergoing Orthokeratology treatment. The procedure is very beneficial to those who do not want to wear glasses or contact lens again. Although it is costly, you are guaranteed that your myopia or hyperopia will no longer affect your daily activities after the treatment. However, you may experience some dryness and irritation following the treatment. So, you should follow all your doctors' instructions in order to prevent any adverse side effects from occurring. Moreover, the cost of orthokeratology is not as expensive as some people think that it is.
