Patients can sleep on their side after they have reached a stable state with ok lenses, but they need to avoid squeezing their eyes excessively.
Ortho-K refers to corneal reshaping lens. On the first day of wearing corneal reshaping lens, patients should try to sleep flat on their backs to avoid the pressure off the lens affecting the corneal reshaping effect. After 1~2 days of wearing keratoplasty lenses, the corneal plasticity reaches a more stable state, and the patient can sleep on the side, but need to avoid over squeezing the eyes.
Keratoplasty lenses can control the development of myopia, slow down the growth of the eye axis in children and adolescents, and have the effect of correcting and improving vision. Patients wearing keratoplasty lenses need to clean the lenses daily with a special care solution to avoid lens contamination, which may lead to corneal damage or infection.
It is recommended that patients wear keratoplasty lenses as prescribed by their doctor, and seek prompt medical attention when discomfort occurs to improve their vision.
