How to wear orthokeratology lenses

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Shuai
1. Preparation before wearing: Ensure your hands are clean, as orthokeratology lenses come into direct contact with the cornea and remain in the eye for at least 6–8 hours; therefore, cleanliness and proper care are crucial. 2. Wearing technique: Gently place the orthokeratology lens onto the eye, avoiding friction that could damage the cornea. 3. Follow-up care: After removing the lens, soak and disinfect it with solution, and perform a protein removal treatment once a week to prevent tear protein deposits. 4. Regular check-ups: Eye care professionals recommend regular examinations to assess lens wear, protein deposition, corneal shape and integrity, and to evaluate the effectiveness of myopia control.
