A lot of money for not much up side. Just wear regular soft contacts.


Hmm... I used it for a year and then stopped because it was very uncomfortable. Used glasses and my vision improved a little!

My son started Ortho K when he was 9 - his prescription had gotten a full 1.00 points worse in one year. His vision has not gotten any worse since we started 2.5 years ago! He can see all day with no glasses or contacts. Downside is the cost.

Yes but it was uncomfortable to wear the lense.

Wow That sounds amazing. I didn't know it was an option for astigmatism. My night vision has gone from bad to terrible; would love to be able to see after dark again!
