Daily Mail article about overnight contact lenses

We are pleased to be able to offer clients the ortho-K lenses that are mentioned in this Daily Mail article on Sunday 29-11-15.

Special contact lenses that change the curve in the eye when they are worn overnight can improve eye-sight

  1. Latest research shows contact lenses could be used like braces to correct children's eyesight

  2. Results hailed as a major breakthrough were published in the Advances in Ophthalmology And Visual Systems

  3. Could change the way short sightedness is treated in children

The latest trial results showed that special contact lenses designed to reshape the eye's curvature could be used like braces to slow the development of short sightedness in children.

Called Orthokeratology or ortho-K, the rigid gas permeable contact lenses work by altering the shape of the cornea to reduce or correct low to moderate levels of myopia (short sight).

Take a look at the Overnight Vision Correction page on our website for more information and to find out whether you are suitable for this ground breaking eye treatment.
