Myopia management is important as myopia (nearsightedness) is a rapidly increasing problem worldwide. The abnormality often starts in early childhood and worsens during the school years.

A high myopia abnormality is associated with serious complications such as glaucoma, cataracts and retinal detachment. It is therefore very important to greatly reduce the risk of these complications for your child.

Research has shown that orthokeratology can slow the progression of myopia in children. The light on the periphery plays an important role from the retina when the eyes are focused.

With glasses or regular contact lenses, this so-called peripheral light is imaged behind the retina. This can worsen the risk of eye growth and thus myopia progression.

Ortho-k ensures that the light rays are imaged just before the periphery of the retina. Scientific research suggests that this slows down the development of myopia thus reducing the risk of future complications for your child.

Orthokeratology is a safe and comfortable solution to correct myopia for both adults and children. More importantly, this remedy will deteriorate your child’s eye significantly and thus improves the quality of life..
