Make glasses for children a thing of the past
Glasses for children can be extremely problematic and finding an effective cure for childhood myopia has eluded the optical profession until now. Many techniques, such as corrective laser surgery, are unsuitable as cures for children's vision problems, which is why Orthok overnight correction contact lenses are the ideal option for those looking for a straightforward, non-invasive way to improve eyesight and as a potential cure for childhood short-sightedness.
Glasses for children are detrimental in a number of ways. As well as making daily life more difficult for young people, glasses also have the potential to hinder a child's development - both socially and mentally - making a cure for childhood shortsightedness even more important when it comes to children.
While glasses and contact lenses for children are available, Orthok lenses are the best way of dealing with children's vision problems because they are non-invasive, only worn at night and could potentially halt short-sightedness in children - making them a cure for childhood myopia.
How do Orthok overnight corrective contact lenses help improve eyesight in children?
Orthok lenses are an innovative alternative to glasses for children. Unlike standard contact lenses for children, the orthok overnight vision correction solution modifies the angle at which light enters the eye by gently reshaping the front surface of the cornea. This means that even when the lenses, which are worn when sleeping, are removed they still act as an effective way to improve eyesight - for at least up to 24 hours. in some cases the correction effect can last up to 2-3 days as Michael Davis describes when he went river rafting with his uncle in California.
This means that during the day parents do not have to worry whether their child is wearing glasses - and children are free to enjoy school and sporting activities.
Also, because Orthok lenses reshape the wearer's eyes, they only tend to need one prescription during their lifetime, meaning children's vision problems can be dealt with into adulthood. It also means that short-sighted children who wear Orthok overnight corrective lenses won't see their eyesight deteriorate over time - forcing them to replace costly prescription glasses or contact lenses many times over.
