You might think, I know… I know… Isn’t it Ortho-K?
Not Ortho-K, my dear friend! 🙅♀️
Ortho-K lenses use hard and breathable lenses, but this new contact lens is very similar to ordinary contact lenses, soft, and can be discarded directly after wearing it for a day. In addition, Ortho-K lenses are worn at night, and Myopia Control (short-sightedness control) soft contact lenses are worn during the day.
To put it simply, the two are similar and can control children’s short-sightedness effectively, just the characteristic is different. Main point is that this Myopia Control (short-sightedness control) soft contact lens as the name says, is soft, so it is very comfortable to wear. Of course, need not worry about cleaning and maintenance too, because it is a one-time disposable product. Active children, especially those who like dancing, sports or similar activities, are very suitable to wear this contact lens.
Hmm.. question 🤔
Are children suitable for wearing contact lenses? Will it bring unnecessary risks? Being a parent, we know that you are going to be worried about this
No worries! Children aged 8 or above are fit to wear contact lenses. The degree of short-sightedness in children will increase with the growth of eyeballs. If the eyeball grows too fast, the light going through will not be able to focus on the retina, causing blurred vision. It is for this reason that the prevention of short-sightedness growth can be effectively slowed down by preventing the growth of young children’s eyeballs.
One study across Canada, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Singapore was performed,, tested on 144 children between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. Wearing this Myopia Control (short-sightedness control) soft contact lenses, the study found that not only did the child’s short-sightedness degree significantly slow down, but the child’s ability to adapt and wear contact lenses is also getting better.
In fact, whether to let children wear contact lenses or not, age is not the most important factor. The degree of short-sightedness should be considered to determine the appropriate treatment for children.

Of course, we strongly encourage you to bring your child over and let our optometrist perform a thorough eye check. Generally, high-degree short-sightedness still requires Ortho-K treatment (other factors not included). You may ask, what’s the definition of high-degree? We need to perform a detailed inspection before we can provide professional advice and suggest the best treatment for your child.
Each has its own advantages, what’s important is it really works, right? 😉
