The sleepSEE Difference
Myopia Management
For some children, Ortho-K can help slow worsening nearsightedness. Eye checks track the response. Results vary.
Clinical Experience
Ask your provider about their training and experience fitting Ortho-K lenses.
Follow-Up
Doctors check lens fit, eye health and vision and compare your measurements over time.
Candidacy Review
Age is only one factor. The doctor also checks the prescription, eye shape, eye health and readiness for lens care.
