I started using the ortho-k lenses when I was 8 years old. I think I had glasses when I was 6 but in 2 years my eyesight had worsened so quickly that my dad became very concerned. He heard of ortho-k through an ad and he decided to find out what it was all about. After realizing that ortho-k lenses would help stop my eyesight from getting worse, my dad started myself (and my sisters) on ortho-k.
Since then I’ve never had to wear glasses or soft contact lenses again!
As they are worn only at night (when you sleep) you are free to do anything in the daytime as usual. For example swimming was never a problem. I never had to deal with the headaches from taking off my glasses and suddenly seeing only blurriness. I didn’t have to deal with sweaty imprints from glasses on my nose either!
I think the experience of feeling like I have 20/20 vision is one of the best parts of ortho-k and I would highly recommend it. As well, Dr. Lee and his team have always made me feel well taken care of – I know I can trust them to give my eyes the best care possible!
