The best night lenses in 2022

Vision problems are the so-called scourge of the 21st century. Computers, phones, various other devices, as well as a sedentary lifestyle and a lot of stressful situations, have a huge impact on people's vision. You have to suffer with glasses, with daytime lenses, which can cause discomfort, or in general, someone resorts to laser correction. However, society does not stand still and comes up with something new for people with poor eyesight. Orthokeratological OK lenses (night lenses) are such an invention.

Night lenses are...?

Such optics are much tougher than ordinary, daytime ones. They need to be put on at night, and removed after sleep. In 6-8 hours, vision is practically restored to 100% for several days (from 24 to 72 hours). However, after the specified time, visual acuity decreases again and, accordingly, the procedure must be repeated again.

Principle of operation

Night lenses slightly modify the tissues of the epithelium of the eye. It works like this: the ophthalmic device restores the correct position by pressing down on the corneal cells, shifting to the periphery. That is why vision becomes better, because with various pathologies (myopia, for example), focusing in the retina is distorted, and hard lenses “put in place” the cornea.

Benefits of using

• you will not have to experience discomfort during the day (there are no restrictions to go, for example, to the pool or sauna);
• the risk of infection is reduced;
• versatility (suitable even for children, as they are safer due to the fact that they are worn only at bedtime).

Terms of Use

The rules are practically the same as those that apply to conventional optics.

• follow the deadlines - it is forbidden to use the product when the period of wearing them has expired, if cracks, scratches or other deformation appear, they should immediately be replaced with new ones;
• constant care - it is necessary to use a solution that disinfects the surface of the product, removes all possible deposits from them, while paying attention to the container, which should also be changed approximately every three months;
• do not give other people your container for washing, this is the same individual thing as a toothbrush;
• constant supervision by a doctor - regular visits to a specialist are necessary so that the dynamics, quality and effectiveness for vision can be assessed;
• do not sleep in them for more than 8 hours, because due to the fact that they pass air much worse, the eyes will not have time to rest, and this is extremely necessary for correct and healthy vision correction.

They differ both in composition, and in material, and in the rules of use, and in effect.

By themselves, night lenses are not yet so popular, not many people know about them and still use ordinary, daytime lenses.But it is much more convenient when nothing interferes during the day and does not hinder activity: you can swim in the pool, visit the sauna, and also engage in active sports. However, such optics also have contraindications: ranging from individual intolerance to lenses in the prince, ending with various pathologies. Accordingly, it is worth approaching your vision responsibly and obeying your ophthalmologist so that there are no incurable diseases in the future.
