How do night lenses work?
Night lenses, or orthokeratology, temporarily correct myopia by reshaping the cornea while you sleep.
These rigid, oxygen-permeable lenses apply gentle pressure that alters the curvature of the cornea, allowing clear vision upon waking, without glasses or daytime lenses.
This technique is primarily intended for people with mild to moderate myopia. It can also be used in children to slow the progression of their visual disturbance.

An effective and reversible alternative to surgery
Orthokeratology has several advantages: it is non-invasive, reversible, and offers complete visual freedom during the day.
It is an attractive alternative for those who do not wish to or cannot undergo refractive surgery.
However, its effectiveness depends on extremely careful use and regular follow-up with an ophthalmologist to prevent any risk of infection or irritation.
Although less well-known, this method is attracting more and more people looking for a practical and flexible solution to correct their vision!
