Glasses can be cumbersome - not only could they be sat on and broken easily, but they also require constant cleaning and upkeep.
For anyone with an active lifestyle, ortho k lenses could be the answer.
A writer at website Fitsugar.com has urged people who enjoy running or biking to consider contact lenses.
Although a great alternative to glasses and
laser eye surgery, ortho k lenses could be the preferred option for many.
For people who enjoy biking or hiking, getting dust and dirt in the eye can be an irritation.
Daytime lenses can lead to such undesirables becoming stuck in the eye, causing problems and meaning that they will need to be cleaned to prevent infection.
However, as ortho k lenses are worn at night, there is no need to worry about such problems in the day, with the eye free from any visual aids in daylight hours.
Although contact lenses can be worn when swimming with goggles, ortho k lenses would be preferable as there would be no need to wear anything else.
If you lead an active lifestyle and suffer with shortsightedness,
orthokeratology could be for you.
