Yes, if you're nearsighted (up to -4.50D) or nearsighted with astigmatism (up to -1.50D). It's ideal for athletes, those avoiding surgery or daytime contact lenses, and children from age 8. Recent studies show it can halt myopia progression in kids. No known contraindications.
Consult an ophthalmologist specializing in orthokeratology lens adaptation. Find experts via contactlens.com or by contacting Menicon or Technolens labs. Budget €400 for a one-year lens supply and €400 for initial adaptation visits (first year only). These rigid lenses are worn nightly for 6-8 hours. Remove them in the morning for clear vision all day without glasses or contacts—even if you sleep late or wake at night.
