Glasses have become a popular accessory, with many celebrities now choosing to wear them as fashion statements rather than out of necessity.
Lily Allen, Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof and VV Brown have all been seen out and about in oversized lenses, with many left questioning whether or not they need them.
With more choice than ever on the visual aid market, it is now possible to wear glasses sometimes and consider other options at other times.
Ortho k lenses are one product which can help people pick and choose what they wear and when.
For some people who want to wear glasses sometimes, but not always, they are a great choice.
Worn while asleep, the
night vision contact lenses help to gently reshape the cornea so that once awake, the wearer can see clearly without any other paraphernalia.
For stars such as Lily or Alexa, they could be a great option.
As they are completely natural, there is no danger in stopping wearing them and the eye simply returns to its normal state - meaning those who want to adopt a geek chic look can do so.
Once they are bored with the look and want to see without glasses again, they can return to
orthokeratology lenses and be free of any visual aids in the day.
For most people,
ortho k lenses will prove so beneficial that they will want to be rid of their glasses for good, but for those who don't, they work just as well.
