Can children handle #OrthoK #contactlenses?

Why is my child a #goodcandidate for Ortho-K?

Studies from around the world have indicated that Ortho-K can keep your children’s #myopia from getting worse. Currently, an ongoing 5 year FDA study is seeking to confirm previous studies and prove anecdotal evidence to this fact. Increasing myopia is also a risk factor for detached retina and glaucoma.

Your child is an especially good candidate if they have a tendency to lose or abuse their contact lenses/glasses, or if wearing them interferes with their active life.
