Accelerated Orthokeratology
Many people are afraid of having invasive surgery like Lasik eye surgery in order to correct problems with their vision. Recently however a company released a new treatment that can correct vision problems within a few hours without the use of drugs or any type of surgery. Accelerated orthokeratology is a uniquely created pair of contact lens that can correct vision problems and remove the need of wearing contact lens and glasses for proper vision. These special contacts mold the shape of the eye into its proper position over the course of several days or weeks in order to correct vision problems.
Accelerated orthokeratology is now being used to treat major eye conditions like nearsightedness, far sight, astigmatism, and even myopia. The clinical studies for accelerated orthokeratology had about the same success rate as the more intrusive laser eye surgeries without all of the dangerous complications that can occur from that type of surgery.
Risks Of Orthokeratology
The majorities of the risks that come with accelerated orthokeratology are very minimal and generally are the same risks that you would be exposed to from wearing normal contact lens throughout the day. The most important things you can do to reduce your chances of suffering any adverse affect from these custom lenses is by maintaining good hygiene when you are holding the lenses, obeying all of the written instructions for the custom lenses, and being careful when removing the lens from your eye. You should also make sure that you meet with your doctor for all of your scheduled appointments so that they can closely monitor the treatment.
Benefits Of Orthokeratology
The major benefits of orthokeratology are the speed and ease of the treatment, less restrictions, and the reversibility. This new treatment can within a matter of only a few days correct major problems like nearsightedness, far sight, astigmatism, and other serious eye conditions without the need for intrusive and painful surgery. Since this new treatment is safe and non intrusive it can also be used on both children and adults.
