FAQ


The Orthokeratology market is centered on specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism. These lenses are typically worn overnight, allowing for clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

With increasing awareness of myopia management, technological advancements, and expansion of eye care services, the market is projected to grow at a moderate to high CAGR, particularly in pediatric applications and emerging economies.

Development of highly oxygen-permeable materials (high Dk lenses) for safer overnight wear, introduction of AI-driven and cloud-based lens fitting systems for quicker customization.

High costs of lens fitting and limited training for practitioners in emerging markets, along with the risk of corneal infection if not properly maintained.
