Question: My child is only 7 or 8. Isn't it better to just stick to glasses and wait until they are 'mature' enough for Ortho-K?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K Lens)
Answer: Waiting is the biggest mistake you can make. Myopia is like a fire; it’s much easier to put out a small flame than a forest fire. By waiting 2–3 years, your child's eyeball will physically stretch and grow longer. Once that happens, you cannot "shrink" it back. Starting now means stopping the damage before it becomes permanent.
