Parents choose Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) for their kids for several reasons:Myopia Control: Ortho-K has been shown to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. This is particularly beneficial as myopia is associated with a higher risk of severe eye health complications later in life, including glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment[6].Daytime Freedom: Ortho-K lenses are worn at night while sleeping, which reshapes the cornea temporarily for better vision during the day. This eliminates the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses, allowing children to participate more freely in sports, recreational activities, or simply enjoy clear vision without any encumbrances[3].Non-Surgical Treatment: Ortho-K offers a non-surgical alternative to procedures like LASIK for vision correction. This is an attractive feature for many parents who are not comfortable with their children undergoing eye surgery at a young age.Long-term Cost Efficiency: While the initial cost of Ortho-K can be high, many parents see it as a valuable investment in their child's vision. When compared to the ongoing costs of eyeglasses, contact lenses, and potential future costs associated with progressive myopia, Ortho-K can be cost-effective over time[5].Improved Quality of Life: Children who wear Ortho-K lenses often experience improvements in their overall quality of life. They may gain confidence from not having to wear glasses, enjoy better vision for a variety of activities, and learn responsibility by caring for their Ortho-K lenses.Parental Supervision and Control: Since Ortho-K lenses are worn during the night, parents have more control over their kids' compliance with the treatment. They can monitor the correct application, removal, and maintenance of the lenses, ensuring their child is getting the best possible outcome. This is especially beneficial for younger children who may need help managing their lenses. It also provides a peace of mind for parents knowing that they can assist their child immediately if any discomfort or issues arise.
