I believe Ortho-K is a very convenient and efficient alternative to glasses and contact lenses. The fact that you have nothing in or on your eyes in the daytime makes it much more comfortable than regular contacts, and there’s no risk of anything falling off for glasses or falling out for regular contacts. From personal experience, the method of reshaping your corneas in your sleep is much better at preserving your eye sight than the conventional alternative over the long run. While it may take some time to get used to, having the lenses in your eyes while you sleep at most is a mediocre annoyance; it’s something you tend to get used to after a week or so. How quickly the reshaping process occurs depends on the degree of near-sightedness one has. For me, it took about 3-4 days before my vision reverted from nearsighted to back to what it originally was.
I could not have reached this degree of success without the help of Dr. Julia Chang at Optimum Vision Care, whose patience and experience made the whole process lot easier. Thanks to her, I can now see 20/20 without the use of contacts.
