Orthokeratology Lenses help!!?

Question

Ok so i got these lenses that when i wear them at night, they're supposed to improve my vision during the day. So my normal prescription is -7.50 and my optomotrist gave me -7.00 contacts to use the night after i've used my Ortho-K lenses. The problem is, when i use my -7.00 lenses it still feels like i'm looking out of a -7.00 lenses with a -7.50 perspective (i hope this made sense lol). So i tried my -7.50 lenses back on and they feel blurry (kind of like my -7.00). Should i just wait it out and try it for another night to see if it gets better or is there something else i should do?

Answer 1

I can't help you with your problem, but would just like to add that it is very surprising to see the use of ortho K lenses with such a high prescription.

It is normally used only up to about a - 4.00 with success...sometimes up to -5.00 but more rare.

Over that , glasses still have to be used to make up the difference...such as a - 3.00 in your case , if the lenses will only correct the normal 4 to 4.50

It would be very interesting to hear from you again if they do work for you with an Rx that high.

EDIT*****

Thankyou, that's good to know.

I'm not in contact with any optometrists who do ortho K treatments.

And I haven't seen anything about that on web searches, or in our industry newsletters and magazines.

Technologie changes so fast, it's hard to keep up with sometimes.

Answer 2

The first few days your eyes do change significantly and the soft lenses he gave you to use during the interim will not be perfect. I am aurprised that they starte dyou over a weekend with no one to contact your fist day out of the shoot! Do you have anyone in their office to call at all? The doctor I work for sees the person the morning after they sleep in them the first time and several times as well in the first 2-4 weeks. You really need to call them and *** what they reccomend. They are the ones that know what they gave you and what your eyes look like.
