Ortho -K LK Lenses that you wear while sleeping? Lenses that you take off while studying?
The Ortho-k lens principle is based upon the fact that myopia is caused by a corneal convexity and through the lens this convexity can be subdued a little bit. It has the same effect as doing a LASIK or laser surgery. However, when the cornea returns to its normal shape, the lens has to be worn again. That period can vary from people to people. However, the average is 2-7 days and it can last longer if worn for a longer period of time .
Side Effects?
There are no known side effects until now. Except the discomfort when wearing a normal RGP lens. Because the cornea returns to its position, please take off the lens and consult an ophthalmologist when any problems arise. If you follow their instructions, it will recover 100% in days. It is also good because there are no limits to it. Whether you are a man or woman, there is an effect in stopping myopia from getting worse. Therefore it is very comfortable for growing children, people incapable of surgery, athletes, pilots, stuntmen, artists, captains of air flights who can't wear lens all the time.

"The alternative way of myopia management, not throughout surgery "
■ Higher safety than surgery (PRK), Low critical side effect
■ Can be reversible after 3~4 weeks, discontinuing lens wear
■ Effective to reduce myopia at every age, especially juvenile
■ Can be controlled myopia progression as well as myopia reduction
■ Easy to reduce myopia by overnight wear of lenses
■ Not necessary to wear lenses at day time

Do Ortho-K LK lenses hurt?
No. The lenses are made out of highly gas permeable material which allows lots of oxygen through to the cornea. The design of OrthoK lenses is such that there is a large Tear pool under the lens which helps make them comfortable. For patients who have never worn Rigid lenses before, we suggest that they wear them for about 2 hours on the night before they first sleep in the lenses.
Safety
Consider this. Daily wear contacts are worn 12-16 hours per day. Extended wear contacts are worn 24 hours per day. Ortho-K overnight lenses are worn 8 hours per day. Which is safer?

Orthokeratology Lenses (Altenative to lasik Surgery)
Time to change the concept of contact lenses! Innovative contact lens to correct myopia through contact lenses is a totally innovative idea not comparable to the conventional soft, hard or RGP lens. It is a treating lens used to correct eyesight without an operation. It can be safely worn since it makes use of the HAD materials of Paragon Vision Sciences only, which gained an approval of continuously wearable lens (even while sleeping) from the American FDA. Ortho -K LK lens is worn during sleep and taken off while studying or working in daytime. You can also go without 2 to 7 days' lens wearing after a one-night use of the lens.
Durability of Lens?
It may vary according to the way you keep your lens stored, but our principals guarantees up to 3 years. Use it safely. You must use Proper GP Cleaner to store and keep for a long time use.
Target People?
No limits to the use. However, people with severe dryness in the eye can be applied, - with high myopia going beyond 5.50D - with higher than 2.00D astigmatism, consult an ophthalmologist first. Ortho-K lens has been approved by the KFDA and its Quality Department guarantees its safety and function. Use it without hesitation .
DOES ORTHO-K HAVE ANY ADVANTAGES OVER EXCIMER LASER SURGERY?
- Yes! The procedure is REVERSIBLE (Excimer is not!).
- It does not involve post-operative pain.
- It does not leave the hazy vision often experienced by patients following laser surgery.
- There is no loss of Bowman's membrane (the tough protective layer just under the Corneal surface).
- Both eyes are done together (rather than several weeks or months apart).
- Changes in prescription over time can be dealt with (unlike Excimer).
OrthoK is significantly cheaper.
KFDA - overnight Ortho-K
Overnight Ortho-K has been approved by the Korean Federal Drug Administration.
The materials used for overnight Ortho-K LK have been approved by FDA. Ortho-K has been practiced safely for over 40 years and overnight Ortho-K for 15 years. Clinical studies to see more data on the risks and benefits of the overnight procedure has been published in several important journals .
