Ortho-k contact lenses, your allied contact lenses this summer for 3 reasons

The beach sand can easily get into your eyes, which can make the conventional contact lenses, those used during the day, leap. To suffer a blow in the swimming pool or a bycicle fall can also lead to the traditional contact lenses loss, which can even get broken. These are only three examples from a big list of summer holidays moments that prove that wearing glasses or conventional contact lenses is not always the most comfortable option. Can you imagine a type of contact lenses that one uses during the night and which allow one to have a clear vision during the day without wearing anything in the eye? The ortho-k contact lenses will turn out to be your best allied contact lenses during summer time for these main reasons: security, comfort and health.

• The most secure option

Since these contact lenses are nocturnal, the vision is clear during the day without wearing any type of contact lense in the eye. This is possible because the Ortho-k contact lenses apply the Refractive Corneal Therapy (CRT), which modifies the corneal curve correcting the myopia. This is the most secure option, since it is impossible to harm our eyes, because we do not wear any contact lense. This is an absolutely secure treatment, since it has been approved by the United States FDA, which is the american health organization and also from the European Community.

• The comfort of wearing no contact lenses

The fact of wearing neither contact lenses nor glasses, because the Ortho-k contact lenses correct the myopia during the night, makes the probability of irritation and inconveniences typical of the conventional contact lenses decrease. In a period where the sport, beach or swimming pool activities are more appropriate, the fact of wearing neither contact lenses nor glasses is a pleasure. Despite this, one must  not forget about the sunglasses, especially in the case of children.

• A matter of health: to slow down the myopia

The therapy applied by means of the Ortho-k contact lenses, the Refractive Corneal Therapy, is the best one to slow down the myopia with significant results. These contact lenses become the unique choice to surgery, ill-advised in the case of children and young people with evolutionary myopia and in other particular cases.
