Summary:
- The article discusses a new long-range vision correction treatment for myopic (nearsighted) children in Singapore.
- The treatment, called orthokeratology (ortho-k), involves wearing specialized contact lenses overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea and improve vision during the day without the need for glasses or daytime contacts.
- The treatment has shown promising results in slowing the progression of myopia in children, potentially reducing the need for stronger prescriptions and the risk of complications associated with high myopia later in life.
