Dry eye sufferers could benefit from ortho k   |   15.10.2009




Anyone who suffers from dry eyes knows it can be an irritating and debilitating condition.

Many things can cause it, from air conditioning to staring at a screen and forgetting to blink and even contact lenses.

But how can you rid yourself of the condition?

Amanda Watson, writing for 24Medica, suggests there are a number of ways, including eye drops, humidifiers or even medication.

However, for contact lens wearers, ortho k lenses could prove to be beneficial.

Worn at night, ortho k lenses are taken out in the day, meaning that the eye is open to elements and less likely to become oxygen starved - and consequently dry.

Orthokeratology lenses also mean that a wearer can avoid having the annoyance of getting things stuck to lenses during the day or having them fall out at awkward moments.

If you are looking for a great alternative to day wear lenses, ortho k lenses are it.
