Question
Which method is more suitable for pediatric vision correction, and how long does the treatment process take to see results?
Answer
For pediatric vision correction, it is recommended to consider using orthokeratology lenses. These lenses are worn overnight over the front of the cornea, gradually flattening the corneal curvature and shortening the eye axis, effectively preventing further progression of myopia. This technique, known for its overnight wear and clear uncorrected vision during the day, is hailed as “a technology that can control and correct myopia while sleeping.” Typically, after wearing them for 7 to 9 hours at night, children can enjoy clear vision for about 12 hours during the day, and their overall visual performance is superior to traditional glasses and contact lenses.
