A trip to the cinema ought to be a stress-free and enjoyable experience.
However, for those people who have vision that is less than perfect it can be irritating, especially if the person in question has forgotten to bring their glasses or wear their contact lenses.
Now, the development of 3D cinema brings a whole new issue to the forefront.
Recently the film critics went wild for the new James Cameron movie Avatar, which requires users to wear 3D glasses throughout.
Other films that have gone 3D recently include Monsters vs Aliens and The Final Destination - both of which cater for very different audiences that may suffer from the same problem; having to wear 3D glasses over their own prescription specs.
Ortho k lenses could be the perfect answer to the conundrum that many glasses-wearers may find themselves with.
Worn at night,
orthokeratology lenses help to reshape the cornea leading to better
natural vision once awake.
For people planning on a visit to the cinema, especially to see a 3D film, ortho k lens wearers needn't worry about spending the entire time balancing 3D glasses on top of their prescription specs.
The lenses mean that no extra vision paraphernalia is needed during the day, so a person can enjoy a three-dimensional cinematic experience without a care in the world.
As the ortho k lenses work for the whole day, the person can then spend their time enjoying themselves rather than wearing pesky daywear lenses or glasses.
Orthokeratology also provides a great alternative to invasive laser or Lasik surgery and is completely natural - if the wearer does not enjoy their
ortho k experience for any reason, they can simply choose to remove them and their own
natural vision will return.
