Your post is the first downvote I'm giving on HN.
I'm pretty sure Ortho-K gave me astigmatism. It does not work for higher ranges of myopia and touting it as better alternative is disingenuous at best. Night driving was downright impossible and the halo effects were so strong that I would be a menace for anyone on the road.
I strongly urge people to consider it very carefully, because the impact can be as significant as a surgery.
- DCKing 10y agoSorry to hear it. I've updated my post to make some of the wording more subjective. The halo effects are indeed quite strong in the first weeks (took my eyes about 6 weeks to fully adjust), but they have practically disappeared for me and I feel very comfortable night driving now. I appreciate that different eyes and different care can cause wildly different results and experience.
