MYOPIA - personal experience

Taken from the site www.miopia.com :

Myopia is the most common visual defect in our popolazione.Il 25% of Italians are short-sighted. The short-sighted sees evil in the distance and therefore depends on glasses or contact lenses.
There are mild myopia up to four diopters, dioptres myopia up to eight medium and exceeded these values, however, speak a few diopters of myopia elevata.Bastano (2-3) because senza occhiali o lenti a contatto ci si senta persi nella "nebbia" della propria scarsa visione. Il problema di correggere efficacemente il difetto di vista si pone quindi per la maggioranza delle persone miopi.
La prima e più usata correzione della miopia è l'occhiale, non solo per diffusione ma anche per necessità; l'occhiale è di facile uso, ma comporta inevitabili problemi visivi che aumentano quanto più è forte la miopia che correggono.L'immagine risultante percepita dal soggetto miope è infatti rimpicciolita ed è nitida solo nella porzione centrale per colpa delle distorsioni causate dalla periferia della lente.
La qualità visiva migliora con l'applicazione contact lenses: There is no shrinkage or distortion of a device, but the problems appear oculari.Spesso forget that in fact the myopic eye is not made to wear contact lenses this is the satisfaction and freedom ' danno.Si independence that may well have acute problems: such as infections (potentially very serious) or chronic problems stemming from reduced oxygenation of the cornea and tear from the increased stress on the apparatus.

Son to become myopic about 14 years, I was recently released from the glasses for astigmatism, and I was happy not having to carry more annoying and embarrassing encumbrance in the face. Then the effort to be able to read the signs and the number of the bus that was coming I had to reluctantly make the visit to the eye and that's the verdict: myopia. But Ugh! You can recover from such myopia astigmatism? Useless, if lucky 6 remains stable after 25 years ... and it has always gone worse! Haze worse than smog or Milan in the Po valley with fog, crow's feet x the effort to see when not wearing glasses, to the sea you do not recognize anyone ...

course I tried contact lenses, 'from which six lucky, you can put soft ones, are more tolerable,' I said ... well, I'm intolerant! After several attempts I gave up, and I have resigned the glasses, so I have always had ... too bad, I aimed to experience the thrill of not having to take more! In July '08 I decided to finally go to the optician and get me a pair of sunglasses have no idea ... the cost?! € 440 for a frame that excites me, but you can not choose what they like best, for sure the lenses are not for that one! And we're spending so much just got the 14th!

are the first of December and are in the bar at lunch, I read the Small and finished what I look around x look for something else, I did not want to go out again. I find on the shelf a journal of events in Trieste (I forget the name), those with tante pubblicità e pochi articoli, sfoglia che ti sfoglia trovo una pubblicità di un ottico in via ginnastica, leggo il trafiletto e ho strabuzzato gli occhi: poter vedere senza occhiali, lenti a contatto e senza rischiare con il laser! Mi dico che ci dev'essere un trucco di qualche tipo sotto, rileggo l'articolo e mi convinco un po' di più, cerco notizie e opinioni in internet e mi decido, vado a parlare di questo metodo dall'unico ottico dove lo mettono in pratica, all' OTTICA LC, in via Ginnastica 8.

Andando su google e crecando 'miopia', si trovano molti siti che ne parlano e descrivono i diversi modi per correggerla, ma su nessuno, NESSUNO dico, ho trovato un benchè minimo accenno all'ortocheratologia.

What is this? Here, the site http://www.ortocheratologia.it :

L 'Orthokeratology is the correction of visual defects by its reduction with night-time use of contact lenses, rigid gas- permeable (RGP abbreviated).
The particular geometry, such "reverse" these lenses enables them to make a pressure on the corneal surface, changing slightly the curve and making the eye less myopic, hyperopic or astigmatic. It wearing the night before bedtime and the morning after they were removed, the bearer of orthokeratology lenses look at all day without glasses and without glasses.
It 's a correction non-invasive, reversible, and no potential hazard to the port greater than normal production of soft lenses. Just to correct visual defects are wearing the lenses at bedtime and the morning take off to see well all day without glasses and other lenses.

Sounds great right? No glasses, no contact lenses during the day, that my eye can not stand and give even more annoyed if there is dust or wind ... why do not I been told no? ... Boh!

But now I want to know more and make an appointment with the holder of Optics LC, Dianella Majovsky, dispensing optician.
I do a lot of testing with equipment that I had never seen, and then moving on to test with the lens I keep on 1 hour, the take off and then I sit in front of the famous board with the letters in scale . I can not see without glasses even in the first row of giant ... Now I am in the 6th, incredible!
I go home and put them on the night and the day after I go check .. I can see very well already! But for the first day the effect wears off in the afternoon, after just one week but I can see well into the evening .. FABULOUS!
E così a capodanno ero senza occhiali e senza preoccupazioni!

Da provare x credere!
