<![CDATA[All About Ortho-K]]>Hi,

Wondering if your kids are using ortho-k lenses?
Do you have any recommendations or feedback on the lenses?

Some of the recommendations and study done in other threads seem to have been some time back, so wondering if there are any current experiences to share.

Thanks in advance 😄

I believe I am one of the many parents who are concerned with their myopia progression. My child started to squeeze his eyes last year and that’s where I started to be more active in finding out more details in myopia. I brought him to KK for eye check and was advised not to do anything but to observe. He was around 100 myopia then. 7 months later and it shot up to 225 myopia. It worried me because I am not sure how the vision will affect his study in school. My child was happily doing his work and not noticing any bad vision. I asked my peers and was recommended to Jaycob Chin. After looking at the kiasuparents platform, he seems to be using multiple names? Mr Chin, Chin Yan Jie and Jaycob Chin. Anyway, I was connected with him and booked an eye check appointment for my child. The first session took around 1.5-2hrs. I was briefed in the whole process of orthok. I believed this was adjusted accordingly to the me and my child based on what I interacted with Jaycob. I was taught in wearing the lenses for my child, removing the lenses and cleaning the lenses. The reason was that my child was not ready to wear the lenses on his own and I also thought it would be better that I can do it for him. I was taught on wearing the lenses for him, I am not a contact lens wearer myself but the process was easy to pick up and both my child and I were comfortable with Jaycob. There was no pressure and also the steps needed were easy to pick up.

We have been on this orthok journey since the start of the year, Jan 2022. We are happy with the results as there is no worsening of myopia.

Have your kid started? How’s everything going?
Hi sorry I just replied your PM. We started already and so far so good. I help my kid to put in and take out the lenses as still very young. TBH first time was so hard. I cajoled, promised rewards etc until the kid willing to cooperate.

My child is 6 and is starting soon. I heard they handled as young as 4! But some conditions need to be met and parents must be extra dedicated and disciplined.

I am aware some places don’t start until 7… My kid is almost 5, just wondering how young. Doesn’t have much myopia yet, I am just preparing when the time comes. Also, do you think its smart to invest in Ortho K for decades to come until Lasik happens? Thank you!

We are aware that we are using myopia control options such as orthok for our children. Additionally, I found this app called Plano app that can be downloaded on your devices and even book eye checks via the app.

Please check it out, as we know that device use can also increase myopia.

I guess they would have to stop once they are enlisted for BMT? My son has been on it for about 4 years now and he's in Sec 4. Wonder if it is difficult to transition out of ortho K. Lol 🙂

Anybody has any adverse side effect after wearing ortho k lens? I am thinking to start my child with severe astigmatism and high myopia on ortho k to control myopia.

I am a mother of 2 kids. My kids have been changing their glasses very frequent due to the increment in their degree. I am wondering if OrthoK lenses, these night lenses will help slow down my kids myopia progression.

Any clinics to recommend? Any parents out there can share with me your good/ bad experience?

Thank you :?:

Hi there!
How old are your children? It is not a good sign but can be slowed down with ortho k lenses. Other methods include soft contact lens (special type), spectacles (we term them myopia control lenses as well, just that it is in glasses form) and also atropine drops (only doctors in eye clinics can prescribe them :?

Slow down - Definitely, reverse/stop completely - definitely not.
But taking measures to try and prevent is definitely a good step. Have a good Friday and weekend!

Hi, in another thread a parent shared that her kid used MiSight alongside atropine instead of Ortho-K. After a couple of years, it showed that the condition has stabilized. In your professional opinion, what are the considerations in making the choice of treatment to slow down myopia progression.
Thanks for sharing :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute:[/quote]Shoutout to @icechendol for providing me with detailed OrthoK information during the start of my journey. Here is an update for parents who are interested in getting OrthoK for their kids.

I began researching on OrthoK last year february, and received a lot of feedbacks from my friends and the forum. So I shortlisted 2 recommendations and I called them to enquire more about their pricing. Of cos this is what we parents are concerned about as well rite? So the 1st shop and 2nd shop pricing did not differ much... so we went to the 1st shop as it was nearer to my place.

1st shop experience: The optometrist were welcoming and provided us some info about OrthoK... he reassured us that OrthoK may not be able to correct my child's astig as it was too high :scared: but he reassured us that he will give us free glasses if the kids are unable to see clearly after using their lens. We trusted him and went ahead with trial lens fitting but my kids were very afraid maybe because its their first time? So the elder sister went ahead... but the younger sister did not dare to do it at all... In the end the elder sister said that the experience was okay not painful but uncomfortable. The lens was taken off by the optometrist after 30 minutes and he reassured us that the younger sister will be able to do it as well without trial fitting. We were hesitant ... and decided to go home and sleep over it before we go ahead with the lenses.

When we went home, I had a chat with my kids and the younger one is not keen at all. She is just too afraid. The elder one was okay but she said she did not like the atmosphere of the shop? I did not understand and called my friend who recommended me to the 2nd shortlisted place... and she advised me to give them a go as well...

2nd place experience: During the consultation, the optometrist was very friendly and knowledgeable. She look q young but the kids seem to like her a lot. She listed the possible options for my kids to control their myopia... and also clarified all my doubts and questions about OrthoK, like the safety and procedure. Becos of the prior experience at the 1st shop, my kids comfort and motivation to use the lens was my main concern. If they are unable to accept.. I will not force them and go for other options like myopia control spectacles.

So we gave OrthoK another go and surprisingly they went through a successful trial fitting that was painless and fast. The lens were taken out within 20 mins... then the optometrist showed us the changes that happened in the kids eyes after the trial... which was amusing!! My younger kid told me that it was like magic because she could see clearer after the trial haha. We were confident in their service and knowledge and my kids were also happy with the environment. So happy kids = Happy Mummy. Of course we proceeded with OrthoK right away...

There was a morning where the lens was missing in my younger child eye on a Sun morning.. n the clinic was not open. Since we are a patient there, they provided us a number to call when there is an emergency. Thankfully they responded to us right away and helped us with this crisis. In the end they taught us how to find the lens and we managed to remove it easily. Phheww..

I did not want to write a review so soon because we were still uncertain about the results, and so far we have been well taken care of so I have decided to post this today. It has been 1 year since they started and they are both very happy. We recently went for a follow up check and their myopia did not increase at all. My husband and I are very satisfied with the service and as you all know parents, during HBL alot of kids have myopia increase... and thankfully we started at the right time. 😂 The kids also love going to the clinic as they always receive little toys and presents. So I would highly recommend parents to consider this place because this is not an optical shop, it is more like a clinic environment where you see experienced optometrists doing a good job.

If any mummies are interested, you can pm me and I m happy to share with you the name of the practice. Happy new year to all~ :love:

New here. A mom of two kids. My kids were under the care of Mr Chin Yan Jie from Stan Isaacs. He's by far the best optometrist in Singapore although young. Very knowledgeable and patient and very transparent. Sadly he left Stan Issacs so currently looking for him. But I think he went to W Optics as heard from the staff in Stan Issacs. Anyone has contact of him?

I've heard good feedback about Mr Chin Yan Jie, I'm interested to know where he has transferred too. Thanks in advance!

Heard he is working at Videre now. Called over and he is there indeed! Going to book an appointment with him for my kids soon.

Hi all parents, I just started my gal on OrthoK. This is the 2nd night. Apparently, she seems to like to rub her eyes when she is sleeping. Now I'm just worried that this might become worse since she will feel the lens in the eyes. Will it affect the eyes? Will the lens cause damage to the eyes?
Do you see her rubbing during sleep?
Usually not a case for concern. The optometrist can detect any injury caused by rubbing (if any) during the check ups.
Hope this helps.

Also, I don’t think it is considered an essential service at this stage. Perhaps put on hold until opticians can resume all services?


On rubbing eyes, it should not be a habit (whether for kids or adults) as it is easy to introduce germs. The more critical thing is do the lens get out of place during sleep?

Hello all, I am new here to the forum!

I am a mother of 2 kids. My kids have been changing their glasses very frequent due to the increment in their degree. I am wondering if OrthoK lenses, these night lenses will help slow down my kids myopia progression.

Any clinics to recommend? Any parents out there can share with me your good/ bad experience?

Thank you :?:
Hi there!
How old are your children? It is not a good sign but can be slowed down with ortho k lenses. Other methods include soft contact lens (special type), spectacles (we term them myopia control lenses as well, just that it is in glasses form) and also atropine drops (only doctors in eye clinics can prescribe them :?

Slow down - Definitely, reverse/stop completely - definitely not.
But taking measures to try and prevent is definitely a good step. Have a good Friday and weekend!
