Daytime orthokeratology in which lenses are used for part of the day or the hour . It's the type of procedure historically oldest and was first used in the 60s of XX century ( 2). After conducting several studies mean reduction rates of around 1.00 diopter were reported in about 18 months of treatment ( 3-15 ) . | Daytime orthokeratology in which lenses are used for part of the day or the hour .

The introduction of contact lenses reverse geometry in EE . UU . in 1993 there was a drastic change and revived interest in Orthokeratology ( 16). With these lenses in daily use it was possible to treat up to -2.75 diopters over a period of time of 3 months ( 17). A technique that is known as Accelerated Orthokeratology given that was faster and possibly more effective than previous techniques ( 18). | The introduction of contact lenses reverse geometry in EE .

From the mid -90s started to use night Orthokeratology . In this treatment contact lenses reverse geometry (molds ) are used at night while the patient is sleeping. Today, it is the most used and recommended by professional art. | From the mid -90s started to use night Orthokeratology .

Contact lenses used in Orthokeratology produce a temporary reduction of myopia by changing the shape of the cornea . The cornea is elastic in nature. The lens rests on a thin layer of the cornea teardrop shapes . | Contact lenses used in Orthokeratology produce a temporary reduction of myopia by changing the shape of the cornea .

The Ortho- K lenses are designed with the purpose of producing a molding effect on the original shape of the cornea ( rheology ) . The pressure occurs when the lens is less curved than the cornea , so that most of the weight of the lens on the cornea center rests . When the cornea changes its curvature, reduces its amount of diopter and corneal flattening is sufficient to compensate for myopia. Once the lens is removed, the cornea has a tendency to maintain the new shape for many hours. Allowing good vision without having to wear anything during the hours the patient is awake. |
