Experiences on ortho k?
Post Body

Iā€™m considering getting ortho k. Iā€™m 24 years old, dont have the money for pkr or lasik and my parents have always been opposed to surgery. I have a history of glaucoma in my family and my IOP is 19 (Iā€™m an at risk pt for glaucoma but do not use eye drops to control the pressure).

Left eye is -6.00 Right eye is -5.50 with -0.50 astigmatism. I usually wear contacts everyday, glasses occasionally. I have super dry eyes and I work in a hospital where I need to wear a mask and my glasses fog up all the time. I also do a lot of outdoor/water activities. So I feel like ortho k would work with my lifestyle.

Down the road I would get surgery, prob 5 years later but for now I would like to get ortho k. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences on using ortho k? Would you recommend it?
