Description
Orthokeratology, also referred to as ortho-K, is defined as: "A procedure designed to affect the reduction or elimination of refractive anomalies by the programmed application of contact lenses". More simply, the concept of reshaping the refractive window of the eye, the cornea, by flattening its curvature with rigid contact lenses. The purpose of this study is to reduce my myopia as well as some induced cylinder acquired from wearing "hard" PMMA contact lenses for seven (7) years.
