Ortho-K lenses are worn every night, but should the patient decide to stop

After the initial treatment the patient’s progress will be monitored with regular assessments. Lenses will need to be replaced every 6 months, when they become less effective
due to the build up of deposits that form naturally on the lens surface, and

lenses, and is spread over 12 months, on a monthly standing order basis.
