Question: Can't we just use Atropine eye drops? It’s easier and less 'scary' than lenses.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K Lens)
Answer: Atropine is a drug that masks the problem for some, but it doesn't work for everyone, and it doesn't give your child the freedom of clear vision during the day. Many parents try Atropine for two years, see the power still rising, and then switch to Ortho-K. By then, the child has already gained 200 degrees of power that could have been prevented. Don't use your child's eyes as a "test subject" for the slower method.
