Another no-glasses technique I've heard works is Orthokeratology, specially shaped contacts that you wear at night which reshape the lens, and the effects last through the next day. I find contacts incredibly uncomfortable to wear during the day, largely because it's very dry where I live, but I suspect I could wear them comfortably at night.
Ortho-K is fairly expensive ($1-3K from memory), and fairly rare. I could only find a couple places that do it in my entire state.
- hondadriver 5y agoI use those (DreamLite)and they are getting more and more common in the Netherlands. Every contact lens specialist shop sells them. They around EUR 500 a year including cleaning fluids and check-ups. Be sure to get checks regularly and practice extra good eye hygiene, because they do have a higher risk of infections, also eye doctors do not recommend them. Biggest drawback I experience are coronas around bright lights at night, but you do get used to them. I can conformably drive a car at night, because the sight is sharp. The extend also varies from person to person. If you can tolerate the lenses with your eyes open, you can also already wear them in the evening if you need perfect sight in low light. On topic: you cannot permanently reverse myopia, but it gets better when you get older for some people. Ortho-K lenses can however be used by children to stop myopia from getting worse.
