Just to share my experience - My girl has been wearing OrthoK lens for the past 2 years from P2 onwards till now (She is P4 this year) from T**** Eye Care @Bukit Timah. Her degrees is around 200+ per eye with astig 1.5+ on each eye too. Prior to that, she has been wearing glasses with myopia lens but doesnt help much. Her 1st set of lens cost around 3k. Although the lens can last for more then 2yrs+, she is required to change lens at $900 at the 1.5year mark as it was discovered not to be fitting well during her regular checks. Daily, i am the one who helped her put on and take out and clean the lens as she will take a long time if she did it by herself. So far her myopia has been kept in control and no increase since she started wearing the lens. This is compared to an annual increase of around 100 when she was on glasses previously. I asked her if she preferred the lens or glasses, she told me she preferred the lens and gotten used to wearing it at night. Although there were few occasions the lens shifted position to outside her eyeballs and she need move her eyeballs around to move the lens back for me to remove it. Now her Didi at P2 seems to have slight myopia too and i am also considering the same option for him.![]()
Although the cost is on the high side, i am glad that it works for my girl and help to control her myopia from progressing further. Anyone who needs more info can PM me. Hope this helps!
Have you considered to try TCM to bring down the degree instead of maintaining the degrees? It is easier to bring down low myopia. You can have a free trial in the shop.
