Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and web and this is really frustrating. A good blog with interesting content, that’s what I need. Thanks for keeping this website, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not find it.

They are about $600-800, pretty expensive. They were even more expensive when they were first FDA approved more than a decade ago. However, one pair would last you about 2 to 2 1/2 years before you would need replacements. Most optometrists who do ortho-k lenses would let you have a free trial first, just to see how well the lenses work for you. Again, some patients experience great results while others do not depending on their corneas. Ortho-K works well for most people, but not all.
