Comprendiendo Ortho-K
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses specially designed gas permeable contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. When you remove the lenses in the morning, you can see clearly all day without glasses or daytime contacts.
Ortho-K is also one of the most effective methods for myopia (nearsightedness) control in children. By wearing Ortho-K lenses, children can slow the progression of their myopia, reducing their risk of high myopia and associated eye diseases later in life. At EyeCare Center of Orange County, we specialize in Ortho-K fitting for both vision correction and myopia management.
Doctor's Insight: Common Questions
Direct Answers from Dr. Bonakdar
¿Cómo funciona realmente el Orto-K?
El Orto-K utiliza la presión hidráulica de sus lágrimas bajo una lente de forma especial para aplanar suavemente el centro de su córnea mientras duerme. Esto corrige temporalmente su visión para que pueda ver con claridad al día siguiente sin lentes.
¿Es permanente el efecto del Orto-K?
No, el efecto es reversible. Si deja de usar las lentes, su córnea volverá gradualmente a su forma original en unas pocas semanas. Esto es en realidad una ventaja de seguridad comparado con el LASIK, que altera permanentemente el ojo.
¿Es seguro que los niños duerman con lentes de contacto?
Sí, las lentes Ortho-K modernas están fabricadas con materiales de alta permeabilidad al oxígeno que permiten que sus ojos respiren de forma segura durante la noche. Con una higiene y limpieza adecuadas, el riesgo de infección es muy bajo, comparable al uso de lentes de contacto diarias estándar.
