There are multiple times when you need to know about the corneal reshaping treatments. Eye-related issues impose difficulties like inability to see clearly, or when you see dark or yellow spots in and around your eyes. You need to take this matter to an ophthalmologist, a specialist who can give a new shape to your cornea.
The reshaping involves a process that is especially designed to reshape the cornea, but this surgery is temporary. There are eye restructuring processes that reshape the cornea to enhance the quality of sight and to save people from farsightedness or near-sightedness. There is a term Orthokeratology also named as Ortho-k. This is very similar term used for corneal reshaping in major patients whose ages are above 50.
However, medical practitioners have now found that even in young patients there is a tendency to not see things clearly due to which they opt for corneal reshaping. Due to the effect of light on the cornea and its aftereffects, it is also called the refractive therapy. Those who have myopia with cornea in an incorrect position can go through this treatment.
How is the process like? The process of Orthokeratology
The entire process of orthokeratology needs to be done only under the supervision of a trained professional. Generally, it is a two-way treatment process that involves checking the near-sightedness and farsightedness both of which are gradually reduced with the therapy. The especially designed GP lenses are there which are there for enhancing vision in the night. During the treatment of one to two weeks of phases, the treatment to near-sightedness can also be done, and it gets reduced to a large extent.
Since the patient’s vision power keeps changing, they do not need to wear disposable soft lenses during the day. The real contouring and the use of the lenses can be changed depending on the prescription that is given by the corneal reshaping treatment specialist. Some people keep on wearing their lenses all throughout day and night but for some, they might feel that the cornea fits well after the treatment.
The eye care professionals prescribe the right doses of liquid drops to enhance the quality and clarity of the patient’s eye sight and visibility. It is very important how you sleep, splash water into your eyes and also go for wearing spectacles and sunglasses once your corneal reshaping treatment gets done. Young people whose corneal reshaping is done take lesser time to recover, and once they get habituated with the daily activities once more, they find that the entire reshaping treatment was successful.
It is also great for sports activities:
Most of the young people are extremely enthusiastic about sports activities and in case there is some corneal problem to reduce, then they should go for corneal reshaping treatment. This also helps them to arrange their athletic goals very well.
The lenses that are especially designed for orthokeratology are to be highly appreciated because they are able to slow down the progression of myopia. Ophthalmologists determine the degree of myopia and then also treat to reduce it.
