Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are small, thin lenses that are placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision problems. Contact lenses can be used to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They can also be used to treat conditions such as presbyopia, which is a natural aging process that affects the ability to focus on close objects.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical procedure that uses specially designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea of the eye. This procedure can help correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight and removed in the morning, providing temporary correction of vision problems.
Are there any risks or complications associated with lens treatment?
As with any medical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with lens treatment. These can include infection, bleeding, and changes in vision. However, these complications are rare and can be minimized by choosing a reputable eye doctor and following all pre- and post-operative instructions.
