2022/01/24

Orthokeratology lenses can only slow down the progression of myopia. Outcome varies from individuals. Whether one can have good vision after lens removal depends on individual, factors e.g. degrees of myopia and astigmatism. Non-ideal corneal curvature change or residue myopia will end up with mildly blurry vision during the day or later in the afternoon, glasses might be needed to help accordingly.
