Effect of Ortho-K Lenses on Myopia Progression
for Kids

• Myopia is one of the refractive errors that is
  getting common in children due to the drastic
  changes in their lifestyle. The condition in
  which distant objects appear blurry is caused by
  the elongation of the eyeballs or an abnormal
  shape of the cornea or lens which causes the
  retina to prevent incoming light from directly
  focusing. Orthokeratology or Ortho K lenses are a
  proven way to slow down the progression of Myopia
  in kids and achieve better outcomes compared to
  single-vision lenses.
• As with other myopia control treatments, the
  outcomes of Ortho-K also vary in individuals with
  some patients making more improvements than
  others. While regular glasses produce a single
  plane of focus, Ortho-K lenses slow down Myopia
  progression in kids by focusing peripheral light
  in front of the retina. This helps reduce the
  stimuli for the eye to grow longer and reduces
  abnormal eye growth and elongation.

What are Ortho-K lenses?
Ortho-K lenses are rigid gas-permeable contact
lenses specially designed to wear only at bedtime
to reshape the cornea. The patient can remove
their Ortho-K lenses in the morning and can still
see clearly on their own for the rest of the day.
A comprehensive eye examination by an eye
specialist can help ensure that your child
achieves the best results with a custom Ortho-K
treatment based on your cornea's unique eye shape
and measurements. These lenses ensure safe and
comfortable wearing overnight by allowing air to
pass through and providing the perfect fit.

Why Choose Ortho K lenses for Myopia?

• Ortho-K is an optical treatment that is widely
  acclaimed as a gold standard for myopia control
  all over the world. Leading centres for Myopia
  treatment in Ghaziabad have been prescribing
  children with Myopia to wear Orthokeratology or
  Ortho-K lens. A wide range of myopia
  prescriptions ranging from -1.00 to -6.00 can be
  corrected with Ortho-K lenses. You can consult an
  Ortho K doctor in Ghaziabad to get even higher
  myopia prescriptions corrected through special
  lens designs. Ortho-K effectively ensures better
  control in the peripheral retina for myopia
  levels of -3.00 and over. 
• As childrens are not able to undergo surgical
  procedures, Ortho-K is considered one of the best
  treatment options for myopia management in
  children. Ortho-K also helps children stay safe
  and comfortable by getting rid of wearing
  eyeglasses or contact lenses all day long. This
  will be a great convenience especially if your
  child leads an active lifestyle or engages in
  sporting. There are fewer chances for your
  childs Ortho-K lenses getting lost or damaged so
  the cost of replacing glasses or contact lenses
  can be saved.

How to wear Ortho-K lenses?

• The Ortho-K treatment in children should involve
  parental supervision at home during bedtime. The
  child needs to wear the lens overnight and remove
  it when waking up in the morning. Ortho-K, allows
  children to go through their daily activities
  without wearing lenses or glasses on their eyes.
  Children can get an Ortho-K lens fully customised
  according to the shape, curvature and required
  treatment effect of the eyes. There is an Ortho K
  specialist in Ghaziabad that is equipped with the
  latest and fully customised systems to design
  lenses to help reduce the effect of myopia for
  each child.

How do Ortho-K lenses work?

• Ortho-K lenses can give a temporary corneal
  moulding effect that lasts for more than a day so
  that most children will have adequate vision even
  if they dont wear the lenses for one night.
  Unlike soft lenses that work only when worn,
  Ortho-K will leave some myopia control effect
  after every use. The smaller and rigid design of
  Ortho-K lenses prevents them from folding over
  and allows easy removal using a lens suction
  plunger. Many children prescribed Ortho-K lenses
  in Ghaziabad said that inserting and removing is
  easier than with soft lenses.
• The best eye doctor in Ghaziabad will also
  motivate the child and parent, assess risk, and
  discuss ease of use and cost to decide which
  Ortho-K treatment is ideal for your child.
  Children experiencing blurry vision, headaches or
  eyestrain can be signs of myopia. Immediately
  taking your child for an eye examination can help
  slow down or correct Myopia with Ortho-K lenses
  combined with vision therapy. Dr Shalini Jains
  Samyak Eye Care Clinic provides the best Ortho K
  lenses in Ghaziabad with their up-to-date
  expertise and technology.
