Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical treatment option for myopia that is gaining popularity, especially for children and young adults. At Dr. Bhowal's Myopia Clinic in Siliguri, we offer Orthokeratology lenses as part of our comprehensive myopia management services. These specialized lenses reshape the cornea while you sleep, offering a safe and effective way to control myopia progression.
What is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight that gently reshape the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye). When worn while sleeping, the lenses temporarily alter the shape of the cornea, helping to improve vision and reduce the progression of myopia.
Benefits of Orthokeratology for Children
Orthokeratology is an excellent option for children with myopia because it offers:
- Non-surgical treatment: No surgery is required, making it a non-invasive option.
- Convenience: Children can wear lenses overnight and enjoy clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or regular contact lenses.
- Effective myopia control: Studies have shown that Ortho-K lenses can significantly slow the progression of myopia, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions over time.
- Improved quality of life: Children can enjoy activities like sports and outdoor play without worrying about glasses or contact lenses.
