Help short-sighted Children to enjoy life without spectacles
Children with myopia (short-sightedness) often experience worsening
vision as they grow, requiring stronger and stronger prescriptions.
Studies show that modern lifestyles, which include computer and
smartphone usage, contribute to the worldwide increase in myopia.
If a child has myopia, early intervention by skilled eye care practitioners
can reduce the increase in short-sightedness.
One of the procedures used by eye care practitioners to reduce myopi
progression is Orthokeratology (often called 'ortho-k').
This is a process where a specially designed contact lens is worn overnight
to temporarily reshape the front of the eye to improve vision.
Typically, this will allow clear vision during the day without correction.
Ortho-k lenses have been worn successfully by thousands of patients for
over 15 years in markets around the world. Credible studies show that
ortho-k can reduce myopic progression.
ADAPT is a new range of contact lenses for orthokeratology available
through professional eye care practitioners.
Every ADAPT lens is specifically designed to fit the patient's unique eye
shape.
