Is everyone a candidate for Orthokeratology?
No! While Orthokeratology can help most individuals, including those with astigmatism, moderately high myopia and in some cases, even hyperopia (far-sightedness) improve their vision, the procedure is often most effective for those prescriptions falling within a specific range. Additional factors include individual corneal rigidity and shape factors as well as an ability to wear contact lenses. A thorough consultation and examination at the Contact Lens Center of Lynbrook using advanced computerized diagnostic instrumentation can easily determine if Orthokeratology is right for you.
