Vision correction with i-Go contact lenses




Alternative vision correction solutions, such as the revolutionary ortho k overnight contact lenses, are becoming increasingly popular as people look for other ways to ensure progressive vision improvement.
 
As short-sightedness becomes more prevalent, scientists have stepped up their fight against the rising tide of myopia with an increasing number of new vision correction options.
 
But, vision improvement is equally important to the people affected by myopia and it is estimated that around five million people in the UK are in need of vision correction. Of those, some 200,000 sufferer from a high-degree of short-sightedness and if appropriate vision correction is not prescribed then their eyesight could deteriorate further - meaning vision improvement is no longer a possibility.
 
Ortho k corrective contact lenses are an ideal vision correction solution and offer wearers consistent vision improvement without the need for daily contact lenses or glasses - which can be a hindrance.
 
 
For some vision correction is unavoidable
 
Unfortunately for many people, vision correction is unavoidable because the causes of myopia are heavily influenced by genetics and the aging process. Having said that, the inevitability of vision correction issues does not mean that vision improvement is impossible. There are a number vision improvement alternatives available, including the revolutionary ortho k vision correction system.
 
While natural vision correction is almost unheard of, the ortho k treatment gets pretty close to it. The vision improvement method involves wearing specially designed contact lenses which gently reshape a person's eye while they sleep. Made from a highly oxygen-permeable, FDA-approved material from Bausch and Lomb, ortho k vision correction devices are a ground-breaking treatment and great alternative to potentially dangerous laser eye surgery.
 
 
Why is vision improvement with ortho k contact lenses best?
 
The ortho k vision correction system has a number of benefits over its rivals and should be a consideration for those considering corrective laser surgery or other vision improvement solutions.
 
When compared to laser eye surgery, ortho k vision correction has all the benefits, but no of the associated risks.  For a start, using ortho k corrective lens vision improvement is completely reversible. Patients who stop wearing the lenses will be right back where they started - unlike laser eye surgery which is permanent and irreversible.
 
There are a number of other laser eye surgery vision correction drawbacks including haloing and ghosting around bright lights. Again, this side effect can be permanent making further vision improvement impossible. Haloing and ghosting can make simple tasks like driving or working in high-contrast environments more difficult. Moreover, further vision correction may be required later in life as the aging process begins to counteract the vision improvement offered by corrective laser surgery.
 
 
Doing away with traditional vision correction methods
 
Traditional contact lenses and glasses can offer swift vision correction and they are undoubtedly tried-and-tested. Even contact lenses have been doing the rounds for more than 100 years. But they are not a vision improvement panacea.
 
For one, as time passes people will need the prescription of their chosen vision improvement solution increasing as their eyesight deteriorates. This is not the case with ortho k contact lenses which offer consistent vision improvement without the need for prescription change.
 
But more importantly, because ortho k vision correction lenses are worn overnight, they do not hinder a person's daily life. Providing around 24 hours of vision improvement between wearing they completely do away with the need for daily contact lenses or eye vision correction glasses. This means professional athletes can benefit from improved performance, working drivers aren't hindered by a lack of peripheral vision and office workers across the country are left free from the problem of dry eyes thanks to ortho k's proven vision improvement ability.
