Myopia (nearsightedness) is common and can cause serious eye problems later in life. It usually develops because the eyeball is longer than normal or the cornea (the clear window at the front of the eye) is steeply curved. Orthokeratology, or Dream Lens, slows myopia progression by reshaping the eye’s front surface at night while you sleep. This treatment is not intended to replace laser vision correction surgery.
Reduction in Myopia Progression
While myopia can’t be reversed, limiting its progression is important to protect children’s eyesight and future vision. The best way to do that is by spending more time outdoors and less indoors doing near-focused activities.
Dream Lens Lower Sackville, a vision care provider, offers special contact lenses worn overnight that gently reshape the cornea so that distant objects appear clearer. Also known as Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), these lenses are worn while sleeping and removed in the morning, allowing for clear vision without glasses or contacts during the day. During sleep, the lenses gently reshape the cornea so it becomes flatter in the center where myopia is present. This changes the focusing of light on the retina, which slows down the growth of the eyeball and helps control myopia.
Longer Lens Life
The longer lens life of a Dream Lens means that you will be less likely to have problems with your lenses, such as blurry or double vision, especially at night. This is because the lenses are kept in place by a retractable system that only allows the lenses to be removed when you are sleeping. The long-term benefits of the Dream Lens also mean that you will not have to replace your lenses as often, which can save you money in the long run. This is because the Dream Lens is designed to last for three years of daily wear, which is much longer than you would get from a normal soft contact lens. The Dream Lens is a form of orthokeratology technique that uses rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses to reshape the corneal surface while you sleep. This has been shown to slow the progression of myopia without the need for surgery.
Less Risk of Lens Loss
Orthokeratology, also known as “Dream Lens” or “Ortho-K,” is a safe and effective method of slowing myopia progression. The rigid lenses are worn overnight and apply a mild influence to reshape the cornea’s front surface (the eye’s natural lens). The corrective effect only lasts a day or two after removing the contact lens, so it must be worn every night. Overnight orthokeratology is more comfortable than traditional GP contact lenses, with the added benefit of eliminating discomfort associated with wind and dust when wearing contacts during the day. Additionally, the freedom from the limitations and irritations of daily contact lens wear allows patients to play sports without worry or jump into a pool immediately.
More Comfortable
Dream Lens may be a good option if you have myopia, also known as nearsightedness. These lenses change your eye’s nightly shape to help slow myopia progression. They work by pushing the center of the cornea flat. The corrective effect only lasts a few hours. Dream Lens is worn during sleep and is removed when you wake up. It’s a safe, easy and convenient way to slow myopia progression without surgery. It is also comfortable to wear, and there’s less risk of lens loss and longer lens life compared to regular contacts. It’s important to understand that the effect of Dream Lens is only temporary. Once you stop wearing the lenses, your eye’s natural shape will return to its original state. This makes it a great option for children and teens because they can stop myopia progression while growing up, which can lead to more serious vision problems as an adult.
