would like to share my ds's (P2 now) experience with ortho-k lenses. it worked for him (see below), although a lot of struggles in the beginning to put the lenses in.


Eye power since the wearing of contact lense starting on 2010.9.4:
Date \tLeft Right
2010.9.4\t200\t200
2010.9.5\t100\t125

2010.9.12\t 25\t 50
2010.9.17\t 25\t 25

My girl is in P1 now. Checked the eyes 3 mths ago and was 200 degree each eye.


Do you think she is too young to be on Ortho-k?

according to the booklet, there is no age limit. but you'd better check with the optometrist for more detailed info.

Thanks. Are yours good? Able to recommend?

Her specs cost 100+ and it broke within a month. We sent back and luckily they didnt charge us. Now the specs is very crooked....She doesnt know how to take care. I wanted to let her try the myo vision lens but hubby worried she might lose the specs etc...thus i think ortho-k is the next option.

Hi from my understanding it will reduce the power as long as u are using the lens... Once u stop using it, the power will slowly returns to its original...

My 5 yrs old girl is highly myopic n dr rule that it could be due to her prematurity since both myself n dh are not myopic...initially we wanted to try ortho k but changed our mind since she is still young...she is now seeing Dr Yvonne ling from SNEC n the next review in Dec, she will need to do another image scan on the eyes for the doctor to compare with the previous image taken...if degree continues to increase rapidly, she will be administer with adopine eye drops...

My brother was just talking about ortho k, as he’s considering whether to let his boy use it. His friend’s daughter used ortho k and it worked well for her. I think she went from about 300 degrees to less than 50 degrees.


I think diet and lifestyle are important. My whole family wears specs, parents, sis and bro. I’m the only one who doesn’t. I think it’s partly genetics but also because my sis always used to read books while lying in bed, while my bro played lots of computer games. Me on the other hand played with dolls, soft toys and lego, and preferred to run around outdoors. I also loved to eat carrots and spinach (thanks to popeye!). So now I make sure my boy eats lots of these too, and I limit the amount of time he spends in front of the TV and computer.

Anyone try Ortho-K with Mee Mee Optics? Can share your feedback please?


I am staying in the west and check this forum for the recommended Ortho-k providers, looks like they are the only one nearby.

thanks

No sorry but my brother's friend went to one at clifford centre and they were happy with it. He's considering going to this same doc. It's a pretty central location so you may want to consider.
