The use of OK lenses, also known as keratomileusis, for myopia in children has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to wearing frames, and the choice needs to be made according to one’s own situation.
Keratoplasty and frames are both commonly used to correct myopia in children, but Keratoplasty has an advantage over frames in that it can help to control the growth of myopia in children by eliminating the phenomenon of peripheral defocus.
Corneal reshaping lenses for myopia correction need to be worn overnight every night so as to utilize the shaping effect of the lens to change the curvature of the cornea for myopia correction. Hygiene must be observed when wearing the lenses and regular maintenance of the lenses and removal of proteins are required.
Framed glasses are relatively convenient and cost less when used while the patient is not sleeping.
Children with myopia should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for a detailed examination, and the doctor should evaluate the condition and then correct the vision reasonably.
