Orthokeratology (ortho-k) In Chiang Mai

[samlowry]

Hello!

Heard about night contact lenses long time ago, but didn't know, how it calls. Now I did some research in Internet and wondering - is there any CM clinic, which use this treatment.

For those, who don't know, what is it:

is the use of rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, normally worn only at night, to improve vision through the reshaping of the cornea. This method can be used as an alternative to eyeglasses, refractive surgery, or for those who prefer not to wear contact lenses during the day. The latter may be due to discomfort from working in air-conditioned or dusty environments, from extended computer usage which reduces blink rates and tear film production or from displacement or loss during sports activities.

Looks suitable for a CM polluted air, isn't it?

I found the only one mention of the technology in a relationship to Thailand: some BKK doctor are listed in the international ortho-K practitioners DB. Wrote him mail - of course, he don't answer. But, as I got, for first months you have to be observed by your doctor, to fit lenses.
