What is Corneal Molding ?
Corneal Molding is a non-surgical process which reshapes the cornea of the eye utilizing special contact lenses, known as, Corneal Molds (retainers) thereby reducing the dependence upon corrective eyewear.
Reshaping the cornea with contact lenses to improve vision isn't new. It's called Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), and it has been practiced for decades.
Most patients achieve clear unaided vision the first day after overnight wear, but patients with higher prescriptions may need temporary soft lenses for a few days until full clarity is reached.
Once the optimal visual changes have been achieved, then retainer lenses must be worn at night while sleeping to maintain stable vision. |
