i-Go contact lenses: Your vision improvement solution
Poor vision, if left untreated, can wreak havoc on people's lives. Without undergoing some form of vision improvement, sight can deteriorate quickly. And if people leave it too late, vision correction can become completely ineffective.
It is not just daily tasks that are made infinitely more difficult for people in need of vision improvement, there are a number of long-term problems associated with untreated myopia, as well as with other conditions which require vision correction.
For example, a major piece of research commissioned by the Eye Care Trust in 2007 to coincide with National Eye Week, showed that elderly people who failed to have vision improvement consultations were more likely to suffer from depression.
The research also highlighted the extent of vision problems among the elderly, noting that 96 per cent of people over the age of 60 require some form of vision correction.
Vision correction and depression
The fact that the majority of over-60s need eye vision correction is worrying enough, but considering that failing to undergo vision improvement treatment can have such a detrimental effect on a person's quality of life, it is vital that alternative vision correction solutions - including Ortho K corrective lenses - are explored.
At the time the research into depression among the elderly was published, Iain Anderson, chairman of the Eyecare Trust, claimed that the issue could be easily addressed with simple vision improvement consultations.
He said: "Poor vision is not an inevitable consequence of ageing. Almost a third of all visual impairment in people aged over 75 is solely due to wearing the wrong glasses or no glasses at all!"
He claimed that the benefits of vision improvement examinations - on top of the almost immediate vision correction results that can be achieved - include an increased awareness of age-related eye conditions and an improved rate of detection for degenerative conditions, such as glaucoma.
Why are Ortho K lenses the best vision improvement solution?
When it comes to vision improvement, the possibilities are endless - almost. Surgical vision correction, glasses, contact lenses and eye exercises are all common vision improvement treatments.
But the drawbacks of these various techniques make them unsuitable in many cases and particularly in the elderly - a group which is in desperate need of an easy-to-use and effective vision improvement solution.
Mr Anderson made it clear that one of the many hurdles that vision improvement professionals need to overcome when treating the elderly is highlighting the importance of having up-to-date prescription lenses. But as vision correction becomes more costly, this becomes more difficult. Elderly patients can easily choose to forego their vision improvement check-up because they simply cannot afford treatment.
In this instance, however, Ortho K lenses seem to be the ideal vision improvement solution. The overnight contact lenses gently reshape a person's eyes while they sleep, offering flawless vision correction without the need for prescription glasses or contact lenses. Moreover, because they physically change the shape of a person's eye, there is no need to change prescriptions over time to ensure they keep their vision improvement properties.
Ortho K lenses are also a less risky vision correction solution than corrective laser surgery, as they have none of the potentially permanent side effects.
Improve you vision with Ortho K and a few lifestyle changes
As mentioned above, eyesight degeneration is not inevitable and vision correction is certainly a lot easier than it was in the past. People wanting to avoid rapidly deteriorating vision as they age can take a number of simple vision improvement steps.
Eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise and kicking smoking habits can all boost vision improvement. But adopting a solution like Ortho K's overnight corrective contact lenses is easily the best way to ensure consistent vision correction without the need for ever-changing prescriptions and sometimes difficult lifestyle changes.
