Can Ortho-K lenses correct myopia?

OK lenses, also known as keratoplasty lenses, are one of the most commonly used means of correcting and treating myopia, and are more suitable for adolescent myopia patients.
Keratoplasty lenses are worn at night while sleeping, and by exerting pressure on the cornea to form a plasticizing effect, the curvature of the cornea is altered to correct the patient’s myopia, thus enabling the patient to have clear vision without glasses during the daytime, and by eliminating the phenomenon of peripheral farsightedness out-of-focus, the patient’s myopia is prevented from and slowed down from further increasing.
Patients must pay attention to hygiene when wearing keratoplasty lenses. If the lenses are not stored properly or hands are not washed when removing or wearing the lenses, complications such as keratitis and conjunctivitis may be caused, which may damage the patient’s vision.
It is recommended that myopic patients consult a hospital in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
