HI CMF


How long has your child been using Ortho K for?

Does anyone know if after using Ortho K whether they are still suitable for LASIK? I just don’t want to rob my kids the chance of doing LASIK when they are older as a result of changes to their cornea from Ortho K.

Hi 2ppaam


Its great to hear that your children are doing so well with the Ortho K. I am also considering ortho K for my kids, 7 year old with 1.5D in each eye, and my older son at 10 y/o with .75 in each eye. I am thinking that its better to start them early, so their eye sight won’t get worse, but there is also the argument against it, as my 7 y/old is still young.

What do you think? Start ortho K now for my 7 year old ( but that means that he will be on ortho K for over 10 years) or wait a few more years until he is older, but risk his myopia getting worse.

I am currently overseas, but have made an appointment to see Stan Isaacs. Can anyone let me know their experiences with Stan Isaacs.

I will also call Point optics per your recommendations 2ppaam. What ortho K lenses are your children using? I know Stan Isaacs make their own lenses, and some shops actually order lenses from them. Is that what Point optics does? order lenses from Stan Isaacs?

Look forward to hearing from you.
