Keratoplasty can correct myopia and also control its progression.
Keratoplasty is a specially designed gas permeable rigid lens which is one of the types of myopia correcting glasses. Keratoplasty lenses, when worn, flatten the amplitude of the central area of the patient’s cornea within a certain range, correcting nearsightedness and thus allowing the myopic patient to see clearly. Keratoplasty can also control the progression of myopia, and is mostly used for adolescent patients.
However, the effect of Keratoplasty will not be permanent and the patient’s myopia may return to its original level after stopping wearing the lenses. Keratoplasty is suitable for people with low to moderate myopia of less than 600 diopters. It can slow down the progression of myopia in adolescents and help to slow down the growth of myopia.
It is recommended that myopic patients wear keratoplasty lenses under the guidance of a doctor, and consult a doctor when discomfort occurs, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
