Corneal Refractive Technology makes use of corneal refractive lens to slow down the progression of or deduce nearsightedness. It is a non-surgical method that uses rigid oxygen permeable contact lenses, custom-made with computer-calculated formulas, to gradually reshape the cornea and reduce the degree of myopia.
The Principles of Corneal Refractive Technology
Corneal refractive lenses work like braces. The lenses are worn during the night. They use the tension produced by tears between the lenses and the eyes to reshape the corneal surface. By correcting the reflective error brought by myopia, the lenses temporarily bring the eye into correct focus, resulting in better vision during the day after removal.
Procedures
Before Treatment Arrange an eye examination with a registered optometrist to decide if your child is fit for the treatment and whether treatment is necessary.
During Treatment Your registered optometrists will perform regular check-ups and renew the lenses to ensure the curvature is correct and the cornea is healthy.
Lenses Usage and Maintenance Corneal refractive lenses should be worn under the supervision and assistance of adults. Good hygienic habits must be observed. Wash and disinfect the lenses and the case every day, and remove protein from both once every 1-2 weeks. Regular eye examination is advised.
