Orthokeratology: especially recommended for children

Orthokeratology is a myopia correction method that is particularly beneficial for children. Research has shown that the earlier treatment begins, the better it can control the progression of myopia. Myopia tends to progress more rapidly when it starts at a younger age. In fact, some children may have to give up their dreams of becoming pilots or pursuing other careers that require excellent unaided vision due to the worsening of their eyesight.
Consider orthokeratology treatment early to give your child more possibilities and opti/ns for the future.

Key reasons orthokeratology is popular among minors

Why is orthokeratology treatment particularly prescribed mainly for elementary, middle and high school students?

In addition to the fact that children often experience better vision correction, global research institutes have found that orthokeratology can help inhibit the progression of myopia in children. 

Another factor in its popularity is the ability for children to manage their myopia treatment at home under the supervision of their parents, providing additional peace of mind.

Main reasons for prescribing orthokeratology to children

1. It is expected to slow the progression of myopia.
2. Unlike glasses or traditional contact lenses, there is no risk of breakage or displacement during the day.
3. The lenses are worn at night while sleeping, so they do not cause any issues during the day.
4. Parents feel more comfortable knowing their child wears the lenses at night, with the added security of being able to provide supervision during lens cleaning, care, and removal.
