Are orthopedic glasses good?

For many myopic patients, they need to wear glasses in their daily lives. But when purchasing, many people discovered the product of orthokeratology glasses. In fact, orthokeratology glasses are what we often call contact lenses. Well, many people want to know, compared with traditional glasses, what effect do orthotics have? In fact, the biggest advantage of orthokeratology glasses is convenience!

Orthokeratology lenses are made of gas permeable hard corneal contact lens material, commonly known as RGP material. RGP is the abbreviation of Rigid Gas Permeable, which means "gas permeable hard material". It is developed based on the airtight hard material PMMA. The "OK lenses" that are often seen on the market are actually orthokeratology lenses.

Orthokeratology is a method of treating myopia by using specially designed orthokeratology lenses to symmetrically and gradually change the shape of the central surface of the cornea to reduce myopia. The effect is similar to that of laser surgery, but unlike laser surgery, the effect of orthokeratology is temporary and reversible. It is an effective and reversible treatment method for non-surgical removal of myopia glasses. Although orthokeratology lenses can help improve vision for most people (including those with astigmatism and moderate to high myopia), they work better within a specific range of prescription power. Other factors include an individual's corneal hardness, corneal shape, intraocular pressure level, corneal astigmatism, and suitability for contact lenses. A complete examination using advanced modern ophthalmic examination equipment can determine whether the wearer is suitable for orthokeratology treatment.

Treatment Effects

The process of correcting myopia with orthokeratology lenses is safe, reliable and effective. The application of high-tech materials, innovation in lens design and computerization of production and processing are the key to the great success of orthokeratology technology and its widespread acceptance by doctors and patients. After using orthokeratology lenses, patients with mild or moderate myopia can significantly reduce their refractive power and achieve amazing improvements in vision in a very short time.
