EYEDREAM ORTHO-K
Correct your vision while you sleep!
EyeDream, a form of orthokeratology (ortho-k), can work to correct your vision while you sleep. Simply remove the custom contact lenses upon waking and enjoy a world of clear, natural vision throughout the day.
EyeDream is non-invasive and has transformed the lives of thousands of short- sighted people across the world.
HOW DOES EYEDREAM WORK?
The cornea plays a key role in creating a sharp optical focus. EyeDream – advanced ortho-k lenses – gently reshape the curvature of the cornea overnight, creating a slightly flatter profile.
Upon waking, the slight change (less than half the width of a human hair) in cornea curvature is enough to create clear, sharp vision for the duration of the day.
IS EYEDREAM FOR ME?
EyeDream is the perfect solution for people who suffer from mild to moderate myopia (short-sightedness) and want clear natural vision all day without the need for specs or lenses.
-
Have considered laser surgery but are concerned with the associated risks.
-
Are involved in sport but find specs and contact lenses restrictive.
-
Are soft contact lens wearers but suffer from discomfort or dry, scratchy eyes.
ORTHO-K AND MYOPIA
The aim of Myopia Control is to slow down, or halt, the progression of myopia, and this is becoming increasingly effective, especially in children and teenagers.
Orthokeratology lenses, such as EyeDream, are playing a key role in Myopia Control all over the world. Recent studies have indicated that myopia develops at a much slower rate, and can even be halted in children fitted with ortho-k.
