We all know that spectacles have been used to improve people’s eyesights since the 1400s, but nothing amazing really happened to the world of sight enhancement, until the mid 1950’s when Contact lenses were discovered.

Well now there are some stimulating new discoveries in the technology used to enhance your vision, which will be a great ease to the millions of short and long sighted sufferers amongst you.

For those of us who work in a dusty work environment or have dry eyes or Sjoren’s syndrom, you may not be able to consider wearing Contacts or spectacles. The Ortho K system - Contact lenses that correct myopia while you sleep - might be worth considering. What happens is that you wear the special gas permeable Contacts at night and it somehow reshapes the clear covering of your eye (cornea) to correct your visual imperfection and give you perfect vision when you arise from your sleep. The visual benefit can be found for at least 24 hours and sometimes a little longer - so you have to continue to use the merchandise every night. They are waterproof - so if you swim - they could still be an option for you. So, this won’t permanently fix your visual problem, but it may stop it getting worse and it is fast and safe. The technology has been around since the 1960s, but has only recently become affordable.
