If I wear reading glasses or progressive lenses, or bifocals am I a good candidate for OrthoK eyesight improvement?
If your distance vision is good without any contact lenses, then standard OrthoK is probably not for you. If you are over 40, however, your reading correction may be addressed with several other alternatives including Hyperopic/Presbyopic, Myopic/Presbyopic, or monovision OrthoK. With monovision OrthoK, one eye is corrected for long distance vision and the other eye is corrected for near vision. With this treatment your brain automatically chooses the appropriate eye for the task. Another alternative is to have both eyes corrected for distance vision and just wear reading glasses whenever you need to do up close work.
