I love to work with kids! It is a treat to work with the next generation.
Ortho-k has numerous advantages over contacts for kids. With contacts, I always hear horror stories about them putting the lenses in their mouth and putting them back in their eyes after the lenses had fallen on the ground away from home. They switch lenses with their friends at school, or even worse, the kids NEVER take the lenses out! As they get older, they don't wear them when they drive etc etc.
But when they wear Corneal Retainers, the lenses usually never leave the house! So all lens wear is where you can supervise them. You KNOW what they are doing.
Best of all, you are not just giving them something to make them look good to their friends, you are investing in their future. You are preventing their eyes from worsening like yours maybe did! My vision? Eliminate myopia. Stop it early so kids will never have to suffer with it. My children started at age 7 and 8 respectively.
Kids are great and they can do great things even at an early age.
