In this example we review the case of CB, who is a 26-year-old chef who is also involved in a number of sporting activities, in particular skydiving. CB’s vision problem relates around myopia (short-sightedness) and mild astigmatism. CB at that stage wore glasses.
CB had been referred by another optometrist as she had tried both glasses and various contact lenses. She found glasses restrictive for her sport (particularly sky-diving) and a hassle at work with constant temperature changes and grease.
She had tried various contact lenses but had experienced poor daytime comfort with symptoms such as dryness and grittiness while wearing them.
So what options was she left with?
- Her immediate option was to just stop the contact lens wear and continue with glasses. This was OK in the short term but frustrating.
- Laser refractive surgery was definitely an option, but she wasn't overly keen on the surgery procedures.

CB decided that Orthokeratology or Ortho-K corneal reshaping best met her lifestyle needs, and she was able to achieve good daytime vision without the hassle of glasses or the irritation of the contact lens. It was also non-surgical (important to her) and cost-effective. She has been happily wearing her Ortho-K treatment lenses for over 18 months.
So this example solution covered both the problem of dry eyes and irritation while at work, and provided an overall better lifestyle option.
