Do NOT skip ANY steps!!! EVER... Great video.
Hello, I'd like to get more details on how to effectively remove the lens using eyelids. Do you use the finger holding up the upper lid to gently apply a downward pressure to 'squeeze' loose the lens? Thanks so much!!
I’ve been using ortho k for a month now, and I can see great! Thanks for the tutorial!
Are ortho k lens difficult then normal super soft lens?
Am I supposed to use the bio true to rinse my contacts and then use and rewetting drops to insert it into my eyes. I’ve never heard of that. I use the bio true to rinse the lenses and add a few drops and insert in my eye.
yooooo hi its me Emily I came there to try on the lenses!! my brother was dying from that RIP
Thanks I’m getting mine tomorrow
For the Natural Ophthalmics Ortho-K, there are thin and thick. The thin is for daytime, and the thick is for night, right ? For insert, use the thin, For remove, use the thick? Please give us some idea. Meanwhile I would like to know where to buy this comfort drops. Thank you and wait for your reply.
Hello! Thanks for all the great comments! If your lenses accidentally contact water, then you should rinse it with sterile solution before inserting it into your eye. We recommend using the same solution that you use for soft contact lenses (ie. Biotrue, optifree, renu, etc) for rinsing.
I have a question what is its price please tell me
Should I do it in front of my bathroom mirror so I can see I’m putting it in the centre of my eye
I actually have those lenses!!! I love how I don’t have to wear glasses or contact lenses in the morning!!!
@@Aleigh yes it’s pretty normal I recommend using Refresh eye drops they help!!
Hello! Does that have side effects?
Where can yiu get these supplies?
For those who are new to this, please do note some important tips from me(i started wearing these lenses for a year already)
1. it is much better to put a flat mirror on your desk, look down on the table when you insert them .
2. When the mirror is flat on the table, you need to add a few drops of special lubricant to make it more comfortable wearing. ortho k lenses are quite hard compared to normal ones.
3. Ortho k lenses are ones you wear overnight. So When you remove them, put some eye drops to rinse your eye, because your eyes might get dry from the overnight application of lenses. If you use the plastic tube to remove with dry eyes, there is high possibility that you might get your corneas damaged.
4. Ortho K lenses are very easy to be broken apart, so keep in mind dont press it too hard.
5. Be ware of the hygiene of your eyes and the lenses.
how to avoid bubbles in your lenses while wearing them?
@@alexyao4428 do you mean the bubbles from the lubrication water before wearing them? I usually poke it with the tip of the bottle
@@alexyao4428 or you can clean it and put some drops in it again
Thanks a lot

From where and how we got these lenses
What if after if I put the lenses in the cleaning thing and wait 6 hours, there is only half a bottle left? The half is not covered in the solution. Is it still safe to use?
Is this available in India
Hi, is it normal for it to be itchy at first when you put the lens in your eyes?
If the lens is itchy when you first put it on, then we suggest changing the solution that you clean it with. It may be an allergic reaction to the solution that you are using instead of the lens itself. We recommend filling the lens with a drop of preservative free Refresh Celluvisc as this helps to cushion the lens on the eye. This eye drop has no preservatives so it shouldn't be itchy! Hope that helps! - Dr. Lam
When I try to remove these contacts, the contact on my right eye comes out so easily. But my left eye used some work. Like I put some solution in my eyes and turn my eyes around to loosen them but when I try to take it out it’s still painful. What should I do?
Samee
MEE TOO
What I recommend is using your Lids like she did in the video for your left eye it worked for me when I did it so I recommend you doing it.
Tap above and below the lid to loosen them before removing
Sorry I have quite a lot of questions here😂 I've had these questions all the time
What is the multi-Action Solution used for? Is it something that can be used to replace the eye drop that you used in the video?
I have let my lenses sit in the container for more than 6 hours and there is still bubble, is it safe to put in my eyes?
My multi-purpose solution is expired but I haven't use the solution at all, is it harmful to my eyes?
Thank you so much!!
Hi! The multipurpose solution is for rinsing the lens if it drops on the counter or if it has dust on the lenses, multipurpose solution is safe to go into the eye. We do not recommend using the multipurpose solution to replace the eye drop. The eye drop cushions the lens better since it is more viscous (thicker). If the lenses sit in the container for more than 6 hours and there are still bubbles in it, it is still fine to put it in your eye. Don't use expired solution- but you probably knew that :)
Insight Vision Center Optometry Thank you so muchhh❤️
Wait do people actually remove theirs with their eyelids?
Hi Nicole, yes this is a very convenient technique and works quite well. It's very useful when you don't have the removal plunger handy. -Dr. Lam
Lol i remove it with my eyelids but it's really hard to do. It took me like 2 weeks to get the hang of it.
I find it hard to realise that its out of my eye though..
Nicole Lee I do it everyday :P it’s better than the plunger
KᗩT ᖴOOᗪ th slumber just stick it in and it’s out tho is rlly easy and fast
@@achyuu4389 I got mine out in one try it easy but everyone’s not the same right? ..
My Ortho k lenses suddenly started to sit high on both of my eyes and i recent experienced a little more glare than normal. This change was sudden in a short period of time. Is this something caused by putting it in my eye wrong?
My right eye lense started to sit low on my eye do you find a solution ?
What to do when my hydrogen peroxide solution is making too much bubbles and foam that literally goes out of the small case bottle?
Is much better to air dry your hands than using paper. It only takes a couple of minutes and you're assure that no lint will go into your eyes 👀👀
Hello! Can I still wear it if my lenses accidentally contact water?
We recommend rinsing the lens with sterile saline or Biotrue if you accidentally touch the lens with water. Also you should never wear the lenses and swim or shower with them on.
Could you share lint free paper towel? I could not find it everywhere.
huhu I have ortho k lenses , jus use any hard towel , soft towels like Kleenex break into little pieces when it’s wet . And it’s been a month after u commented so I hope and am sure you’ve already figured this out

Does it feel the same as the normal contact lenses? And I have been using my thumb and index finger for years to remove contacts, is it bad???? :O I don't know how to use the plunger.
for the plunger just open ur eyelids and insert the plunger directly onto the contact while pinching the handle of the plunger
I have a question. The place where I go for ortho k says this is how my daily routine should look like:
Before putting them in, rub them with Boston advanced cleaning for 30 seconds, then rinse in tap water, then put in eyes.
In the morning, take them out and soak them in Clearcare peroxide solution.
I feel like the daily routine my ophthalmologist told me is not right. Please give me advice.
You should never ever let tap water come into contact with the lenses. Instead of cleaning with Boston cleaner, you should simply remove the lenses from the Clearcare solution that they have been soaking in, and rinse thoroughly with saline. They are then safe to insert in the eyes. The extra cleaning step with Boston cleaner generally isn't necessary since they're been cleaned with Clearcare throughout the day. No tap water!
I don’t think you should put it in tap water
Are you sure your doctor went to school? No tap water AT ALL 🤦
My doctor said rinsing with tap water was an "old school method". It's recommended to use saline solution or I guess multi-purpose solution for rinsing. Rinsing with tap water is probably fine but I guess you could risk something being in the water and going into your eyes? (my bf still rinses his contacts with tap water and has been for like 15 years now).
Can anyone tell me if I can re use it by that I mean take it out and then the next night I can put it in my eyes again
You can, my optician said that each pair will last you 6 months. You get a new pair every 6 months because your natural eyesight will most likely get better after the treatment
Hi, how long can these lenses be used before replacement?
General rule of thumb is yearly.
does bubbles under your lenses normal? Do u need to get rid of them?
Get rid of them. If you have bubbles it means that contacts are not working properly on the parts of your eye where the bubbles are over. If you fill the bowl/part of the contact that is touching your eye, with the lubricating eye drops, it will decrease the chances of bubbles.
Can you wear them in the day sometimes?
Hi! Ortho K Lenses are designed only for night time use while you're sleeping.
@@Insightvisionoc But theoretically what would happen if you wore them during the day..
@@RS-hh3et from what ive heard, yes you can wear them during the day (as you can w soft contacts and sleeping in them) but it's not at all recommended. the constant blinking can damage/injure the inside of your eyelid if you're not careful since these arent designed for daytime usage
@@alinahu82 I see..thanks for your reply
If it accidentally comes in contact with water, can I just rinse it with the red-capped solution and wear it again the next night?
Hello! The red-capped solution should never be placed directly on the eye without it neutralizing in the contact case with platinum disc for at least 6 hours. We would recommend a rinse with sterile saline instead.
@@thanhmai3877 Thanks for your reply. I'll rinse my lenses with the saline solution if I get water on it next time. I hope you don't mind me asking a lot of questions, but is it normal for it to be itchy at first when you put the lens in your eyes?
How much does it cost
Hi Jasmeen! Please reach out to our office at 714-486-3315 and we'll be happy to give you more information. :)
What if we rub eyes at night mistakely😞
Paras Stone with my experience when I rubbed my eye it slipped to the bottom of my eyelid but it’s quit simple to adjust it
What to do when you want Orthokeratology lenses, but they don't have them where you live?
Is it free for under 18s?
For a fact, I’m under 18 and had to pay S$1900
I lost my plunger
Oof
Crushed J use your eyelids
Geneschannel how
Grimaruu don’t worry lol I bought another one the next day for $5 at a local store
