Why OrthoK for the Water Enthusiasts?
Water and contact lenses don't mix!
Water and glasses while surfing and swimming often lead to dolphins having a new pair of glasses!
Contact lenses and water are a dangerous combination. Pseudomonas and Acanthamoeba bacteria can be found in water and can cause eye infections the Doctor may not be able to stop from permanently damaging your eyes leading to corneal transplants. Any patient who wears contact lenses near water should also wear swim goggles to reduce the risk. Living in Florida and on the coast, we know nearly all of our patients are near pool, ocean or river water at some time.
OrthoK provides the safety of being able to see
while doing water sports without the annoyance of wearing prescription glasses!
