Wearing orthokeratology lenses is related to sleeping posture, because orthokeratology lenses are rigid contact lenses, when sleeping on the back or side, external force has little effect on the position of the lenses, and when lying on the stomach, it will affect the position of the lenses on the cornea, resulting in poor shaping results. Therefore, only patients who sleep on their backs or on their sides can wear orthokeratology lenses.

Orthokeratology lenses use gas-permeable rigid contact lens materials, which are commonly known as RGP materials, which are abbreviated for rigid gas permeable, that is, "breathable rigid materials". It is developed on the basis of PMMA, a hard material that is not breathable. The "OK lenses" that are often seen on the market are actually orthokeratology lenses.

Orthokeratology lenses need to be worn continuously, and myopia control is a long-term continuous process, and stopping wearing them will cause vision fluctuations and affect the control effect. The main purpose of children wearing orthokeratology lenses is to delay the rapid development of myopia, to control the child's eye time, try to watch less TV, mobile phones and other electronic products, to ensure the effect of orthokeratology lens correction and the healthy development of children's vision.

With the wearing of the upper orthokeratology lenses, the cornea is in a state where the epithelial layer is flattened and migrates periphery, resulting in a temporary thinning of the central cornea (about 20 30 microns) and a transient thickening of the mid-periphery cornea. For the best results from this physical shaping process, it is necessary to wear 8 10 hours at night.

The cornea itself is elastic and is shaped during sleep at night, but when the lens is removed during the day, the corneal shape will gradually recover over time, and some children will feel that their vision at night is not as good as in the morning. In order to maintain good unaided vision and control the progression of myopia, wearers must wear orthokeratology lenses every night.

For patients who wear orthokeratology lenses for the first time, the night wear time is 8 to 10 hours, and the maximum time should not exceed 12 hours. When the corneal morphology is stable, it enters the macro loss plateau period, and will no longer change with the extension of the wearing time, so wearing for 12 hours and wearing for 10 hours has the same effect.

Wearing orthokeratology lenses must follow the doctor's instructions, insist on wearing them for 8 10 hours a night, but not more than 12 hours, because wearing orthokeratology lenses for too long will cause corneal hypoxia and physiological edema.
