Dremlens aren't right for me?

Question

there are these contact lenses called Dreamlens and you wear them while you sleep and take them off when you wake up in the morning. And I heard that it works good within a week and it makes your eye vision better. I asked my doctor if I could wear them and he said I can't because they only work for people with bad eyesight but they could see pretty well. And I have eyesight that's pretty seriosuly bad and he said it wont do any good even if i wear them. And now im 13 and I'm stuck with glasses again but this time everydayy!! Helppp

Answer 1

dreamlens is a version of orthokeratology or ortho-k:

i'm a big fan, but there are a lot of Rx restrictions.  most practitioners agree it doesnt work too well unless you're between -1.00 and -6.00 with less than about -1.50 astigmatism

Answer 2

Ortho k is just a money making process invented by optometrists. Sleeping in contact lenses, even if they are made for that purpose, is not a good idea. You will markedly increase the risk of infection. Wear glasses or daily wear contact lenses instead.
