US doctor highlights Lasik eye surgery risks
Ortho k lenses and Lasik eye surgery can both be a good alternative to wearing cumbersome glasses.

However, it is important to note that Lasik surgery does come with some very irritating risks.

Dr Boxer Wachler, writing for Jackson NJ Online, said that some of the common problems include dry eyes, infection and over/under correction.

Other issues include a scratchy feeling to the eyes, not something anyone would want to experience.

If you are looking for a way to avoid the invasive surgery and its potential complications, overnight vision correction lenses could be the answer for you.

Ortho k lenses, as they are known, help to return the eye to natural vision by gently reshaping the cornea.

The reshaped cornea then allows for a person to see normally without the need for lenses or glasses during the day.

As the lenses provide a non-surgical way to alter the eye, wearers can simply stop wearing them should they so choose, meaning it is a great, non-surgical way to get better eye sight.
