Are ortho k lenses safe to wear? what about for sensitive eyes? what can u tell me about them? thanks!!?

Answer 1

yes, they are safe to wear, as long as they have been fitted properly, and you look after and clean them properly.

They are rigid contact lenses, so they are not the most comfortable things in the world to wear, but you will get used to them over time.

They are best for scripts under -4.00 with only mild astigmatism, and you will usually be required to be a contact lens wearer before you start wearing them.

I have a friend who wears them, and loves them, and it is good as you only wear them at night, and wake up being able to see.

Hope this helps
