Industry Trends and Drivers:

  • Myopia Epidemic:

The myopia epidemic is the term used in reference to the rise in myopia rates around the world, especially amongst youth. As more people develop myopia earlier on, the rise in demand for ortho-k lens is evident. Moreover, ortho-k lenses are a non-surgical option in the management of myopia; they enable a person to not only have their myopia corrected but also slow down its progression without surgery such as LASIK. This naturally appeals to parents and patients who are concerned about the safety and long-term effects of surgery, especially for their children.

  • Safety and Non-Invasiveness:

The risk associated with ortho-k as a means of treatment is negligible. While surgery does come with the risk of complications and adverse effects, ortho-k involves the use of specialized contact lenses worn only at night and thus minimizes the chances of adverse effects or complications. In addition, this modality is considered reversible. Thus, when patients stop using ortho-k lenses, the cornea will gradually revert to the original shape. This reversibility is a comfort to patients because they know they can discontinue this form of treatment if unwanted side effects arise or simply if they choose not to continue with it. The second major factor is that ortho-k is very suitable for children and adolescents with myopia. Parents seem happier to go for something non-invasive for their kids' vision correction, and ortho-k fulfills this requirement very well.

  • Advancements in Lens Technology:

Modern ortho-k lens materials are designed to have high oxygen permeability, allowing for improved corneal health and comfort during overnight wear. This advancement minimizes the risk of corneal complications and enhances the safety of ortho-k treatment. Technological advancements are enabling eye care professionals to create highly customized ortho-k lenses tailored as per the unique corneal shape and prescription of each patient. This precision leads to better visual outcomes and greater patient satisfaction.
