Can children be treated with Orthokeratology?
Definitely yes! There are no age restrictions. In fact, children are even the best candidates for Orthokeratology as anecdotal evidence is showing the procedure tends to “slow down” or “arrest” progressive myopia (nearsightedness). Additionally, because Ortho-K lenses are worn only while sleeping, it presents a more controlled environment against loss, damage, and contamination than traditional daily wear contact lenses.
