Honest feedback on CONTACT LENSES that you wear during nights to get normal vision during the daytime?


Question:
They also call it Corneal Refractive Therapy. I was looking at http://www.paragoncrt.com to learn more.

Answers:
It's also called Orthokeratology. It works for a good majority of people, but often doesn't work on higher prescriptions. Basically you wear a specially designed gas permeable contact lens while you sleep to reshape the front of the eye. When you take the lens off during the day, the front of the eye stays molded. Once the desired effect is acheived, you have to wear a retainer lens to keep the cornea from taking its original shape. The procedure requires many visits to your eye doctor and is quite expensive, but is a decent alternative to LASIK (if you don't want something permanent).

Other Answers:
That is some kind of brace to help shape your lense back to where it should be. I don't if it works or not. I would go with proven, trusted methods for now.
