Since it is non-surgical it can be done on those who are under 18. This means that kids can enjoy sports, school etc. without the need for correction through the day. No more lost glasses or torn contacts.
Furthermore, children who have parents with high myopia are at risk of developing high myopia also. I love that the CANDY study shows that orthokeratology can slow this progression. There is a great advantage when a child reaches adulthood and their nearsighted prescription is far less than it would have been without the procedure.
