The orthokeratology has similarity to orthodontics, except that, as the cornea and a soft elastic fabric, after the treatment should be used for several hours a day contact lens retainer to maintain the shape of the cornea.Orthokeratology lenses, also called Orto-K, reduce myopia by adapting lenses with special designs.

These lenses shape the cornea by varying its curvature while sleeping.

And, indeed, most contact lenses should be removed before you go to bed.

Contact lenses that are not adapted for nighttime use can cause a lack of oxygenation in the eye and, as a consequence, the formation of infections or corneal ulcers.But nowadays there is a modality of contact lenses that are adapted for this specific use.

This technique is called  Best orthokeratology and thanks to its use you can correct certain visual defects such as myopia.In this article we want to talk about orthokeratology: what it consists of, how this technique works while you rest, and how it can help you.What is orthokeratology and how does it work?Orthokeratology is a technique for compensating for myopia by wearing contact lenses at night while you sleep, eliminating the need during the day to wear glasses or contact lenses.Contact lenses for ortho-K are manufactured in a personalized way for each patient, according to the particular characteristics of each eye, using the latest manufacturing technologies and the most advanced materials.The use of these lenses while sleeping modifies the shape of the cornea temporarily, getting the user when he wakes up does not need another correction.

The concept is similar to that of laser surgery, except that with the laser the modification of the cornea is irreversible and, consequently, there are more risks.The orthokeratology allows reaching the total visual correction up to the environment of -5.00 diopters.
