It is done to temporarily reshape the cornea and help those with refractive errors see clearly without prescription lenses. Patients will have to wear special ortho-k lenses at night when they sleep, and their cornea will be reshaped during this period. When they wake up, they will take off the lenses, but they will not experience blurry vision or other signs of refractive errors.

 

Since the lenses touch the eyes directly, there is an increased risk of eye infection. This is why Asian Eye Institute has summarized everything you need to know about proper ortho-k contact lens hygiene. Read on to learn how to protect your ortho-k lenses and prevent eye-related problems when using them.

 

 

Orthokeratology provides patients with a noninvasive way to correct refractive errors, like myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia. However, since the lenses are directly placed onto the eyes, it is crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions on how to correctly put them on and take them off. Ortho-k contact lens hygiene is also necessary to avoid eye infections and other related problems. 

 

If you still experience irritation and other eye-related concerns that might stem from using your ortho-k lenses, consult your doctor as soon as possible.
