Recently researchers reporting in the
journal Cornea
compared the differences in visual performance between LASIK and
Orthokeratology or Ortho-K Contact Lenses. The results in this study suggest
that LASIK provides better visual quality outcomes-especially in low contrast
or dim lighting conditions-than Ortho-K Contact Lenses for the treatment of low-to-moderate
myopia or nearsightedness.
LASIK is a type of laser eye surgery
that provides a method of vision correction to help people with common vision
problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism see clearly at
distance without being dependent on glasses or contact lenses.
What is Ortho-K?
Ortho-K or Orthokeratology is a method
of contact lens fitting used to temporarily reshape the cornea to allow people
to see at distance and be independent of eyeglasses and contacts for periods of
time throughout the day.
