Control the progression of myopia
"Orthokeratology"

Myopia is anticipated to become a leading cause of permanent blindness worldwide.

Nearly Half of the Global Population May Be Myopic by 2050” says the Brian Holden Institute.

High myopia may raise your child’s risk of developing more serious sight conditions later in life, such as cataracts, detached retinas and glaucoma.

Myopia generally worsens through the teenage years, and stabilizes as the child reaches adulthood, so these years are the optimal time to seek Myopia management options for your child.

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TOGETHER!

Ortho-K can be the Way!

  • In 2010， ~28% world population is myopic
  • In 2050， Estimated ~50% of world population will be myopic
  • Not only it is more common, but the severity of myopia will also increase
