TC was a 14-year-old student, whose sporting interests included competitive swimming. She came for a vision check-up, as she was noticing her vision worsening, especially for the reading the blackboard, whiteboard and while watching TV.
She was diagnosed with myopia (short-sightedness).
So what were TC’s options?
- The first option of course was spectacles.
However this was considered a poor option due to her heavy sporting commitments, and in the end she just didn't want to wear glasses for cosmetic reasons.
- Traditional style contact lenses.
There were concerns here about the requirement for unsupervised contact lens wear at school, and the potential for losing a lens (or lenses) when swimming.
- Laser refractive surgery.
Was ruled out immediately as TC was too young for this procedure.
Ortho-K overnight presented a better option than contact lenses as TC would not have it to handle contact lenses during the day. She would only need to wear her Ortho-K every second night. Her prescription is stable after using Ortho K for over two years. So TC is enjoying the convenience of clear vision all day for indoor and outdoor activities.
