If the patient decides to return to wearing glasses, can vision be resorted to its pre-treatment level?
The wearer’s eyes will return to their pre-treatment nearsightedness after about two weeks. Depending on how long ortho-k lenses have been worn, this process may be as long as 30-90 days. In order to provide good vision during this transitional period, patients are refitted with gas permeable lenses or disposable soft lenses while the corneas recover their pre-treatment shape.
