Say Goodbye to Glasses with Ortho-K

Ortho-K overnight contact lenses provide a non-surgical method for correcting refractive issues that is favored by many parents for their children. However, choosing where to undergo Ortho-K treatment for myopia safely is a concern for many, as it is a relatively new technology requiring strict requirements.

Many parents choose Hanoi French Hospital (HFH) as a reputable destination for Ortho-K treatment as a facility they can fully trust.

Dr. Nghiem Thi Thu Trang of the Ophthalmology Department at HFH says the Ortho-K method of correcting refractive errors is favored by young families today, as it is different from conventional contact lenses, and wearing the lenses at night offers several advantages:

• Children can say goodbye to daytime glasses without undergoing eye surgery by wearing Ortho-K lenses for 7-8 hours while sleeping.
• The lenses are made of special hydrogel material with high oxygen permeability, ensuring sufficient oxygen supply to the cornea. In the morning, after removing the lenses, the degree of myopia returns to zero, and vision is clear without fatigue or the need for daytime glasses or contact lenses.
• Wearing Ortho-K lenses helps children maintain the integrity of the eye structure, shaping the cornea while sleeping, without damaging the cornea, thus limiting the progression of myopia.

The Ophthalmology Department at HFH has been applying Ortho-K myopia treatment some time, especially for children who want to correct their myopia without surgery:

• Due to the strict requirements of the method, the hospital has a team of leading experts in Ortho-K.
• The hospital has invested in specialized equipment such as corneal topography machines dedicated to Ortho-K, and refractive measurement machines.
• We always use imported lens brands from the USA, meeting the standards of the Food and Drug Administration, with lenses made of Hydrophobic material, and high gas permeability standards.
• Before fitting the lenses, the doctor will conduct eye examinations and corneal biomechanical surveys to assess the quality of the cornea and determine its thickness, strength, and elasticity, thereby evaluating the corneal quality and prescribing the most suitable treatment.
• Each patient using Ortho-K lenses is bespoke, meeting US standards based on the eye measurements for every individual, ensuring clear origin from famous lens brands.
• After wearing Ortho-K lenses, patients need to pay attention to regular follow-up visits to allow the doctor to control the treatment results.
• Ortho-K lenses are hard contact lenses worn directly on the eye, so it is essential to ensure absolute cleanliness of the lenses and follow the correct removal and insertion procedures. If any signs of pain or redness occur, it is necessary to stop using the lenses and consult a doctor.
