Would your children like to leave their glasses at home and still be able to see clearly? Orthokeratology (ortho-k) makes that possible. Children wear special contact lenses to sleep and wake up with excellent vision the next day. It gently corrects myopia (the elongation of the eye) and nearsightedness.
Try these simple tips to keep your glasses fog-free!
- Wear a mask that fits snugly around your nose.
- Place a folded tissue under your mask, right at the bridge of your nose, to absorb the moisture.
- Ask us about anti-fog sprays and wipes!
