Ortho-K or Misight?

[Splatling]

Keen to know if you have experience of using these lenses with your children, any downsides you experienced? Anyone know differences in cost etc? Thanks

Bumping for the evening crowd ... anyone?

My 2 sons both wear mi sight contact lenses. They find them very comfortable and have been effective so far. I have read that the ortho k can be very effective too. 1 slight advantage that the mi sight have over ortho k is that they are disposable & don't require any cleaning. However, I understand that the ortho k have been around much longer than mi sight so have a longer history of proven effectiveness. We find the mi sight very convenient to use overall although can't be worn for swimming. I am not sure about price differences between the ortho k and mi sight. We live in NI & only a limited number of opticians here seem to supply the ortho k.

I used Ortho K for years, loved it in the sense my vision was perfect (or much improved!) and no need for glasses. The other thing I really liked is that your vision deteriorated gradually rather than the sudden blurryness when you take glasses off (hope that makes sense!)

It was quite expensive but if I am honest it was the cleaning int the end that put me off. I just got so lazy.

Thank you both, I've made an appointment to discuss with the optician, am tempted by the convenience of dailies...
