Dream lenses (orthokeratology lenses) that can correct vision without surgery: principles and effectiveness

 

As the age at which people begin using IT devices and smartphones continues to decrease, the age group requiring glasses or contact lenses is also becoming progressively younger. For children and adolescents in their growth years—who are heavily engaged in academic studies and physical activities—wearing glasses or contact lenses can often be inconvenient and uncomfortable. To overcome the discomfort and limitations associated with glasses and conventional contact lenses, an increasing number of individuals are choosing Dream Lenses, which allow effective vision correction without surgery during daytime hours.

Principles and Effectiveness of Dream Lenses

Dream lenses are a non-surgical vision correction method that is effective for the temporary correction of myopia and astigmatism, as well as for slowing the progression of myopia. This method involves wearing CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy) lenses during sleep. While the lenses are worn overnight, the posterior surface of the lens gently reshapes and flattens the cornea, thereby correcting vision.

When the user removes the lenses upon waking in the morning, they can achieve clear, normal vision similar to the results of laser vision correction surgery. The corrected vision is maintained throughout the day, from morning until bedtime, without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
