A secondary benefit of orthokeratology contact lenses is that these lenses slow down the rate of myopic progression. The treatment is safe for all ages and can also be used in adults. Candidates for Ortho-K include those with mild to moderate near-sightedness, swimmers and other athletes, children with rapidly changing prescriptions, and dry-eye or allergy sufferers who are unable to wear traditional contact lenses.

It's important to note that Orthokeratology contact lenses can also be referred to as CRT lenses (Corneal Reshaping Technology)

Multifocal contact lenses were originally invented for those of us over age 40 who have difficulty reading with our distance contact lenses. It was later found that multifocal contact lenses were an effective form of myopia control. In this scenario, your child can wear a customized multifocal contact lens that lets them see far away and up close. Multifocal contact lenses can be worn by kids of all ages and are a great option for parents who want to decrease the rate of their child’s myopic progression.
