    I’ve been using ortho k for a month now, and I can see great! Thanks for the tutorial!
  • @Insightvisionoc
    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.

    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!!

    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.
  • yooooo hi its me Emily I came there to try on the lenses!! my brother was dying from that RIP
  • @kennyluu5860
    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.

    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.

    Should I do it in front of my bathroom mirror so I can see I’m putting it in the centre of my eye
  • @simplyme122
    I actually have those lenses!!! I love how I don’t have to wear glasses or contact lenses in the morning!!!
  • @Yay-qd3jg
    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?
  • @helloyesyes
    I broke one of my lenses do I just keep wearing one of them until the other one is made?
  • @lanasorange4224
    Hello! Can I still wear it if my lenses accidentally contact water?
  • @8LJ8
    What to do when my hydrogen peroxide solution is making too much bubbles and foam that literally goes out of the small case bottle?
  • @nic-ke7np
    Wait do people actually remove theirs with their eyelids?
