Q: Is Corneal Refractive Therapy the Same as Orthokeratology?
Ans : Orthokeratology is defined as the reshaping of the cornea to reduce myopia through the use of rigid contact lenses. So technically, CRT is a type of orthokeratology. -
A check with Singapore Eye Centre and NUH do not provide this cornel refractive therapy...Originally posted by pqr:what i have found is called Corneal Refractive Therapy

I was quite interested in d beginning but den i figure it would be cheaper to wear normal contact lenses and when i save up enough to go for lasik.

yeah it is more than 1k for a pair , heard its quite hard to fit also, and results are not permanent, even if you've worn for very long if you stop wearing for a short while the degree would come backOriginally posted by CryoLind:It can be found in optical shops.

The claim is not permanent...Originally posted by oldbreadstinks:yeah it is more than 1k for a pair , heard its quite hard to fit also, and results are not permanent, even if you've worn for very long if you stop wearing for a short while the degree would come back
the claim is wear overnight and day time need not wear...that is all
