ABSTRACT
The most intriguing outcome after wearing an ortho C lens is the speed and degree of the initial improvement. When I began my research, I thought the treatment would be purely physiological. I came across the neurological implications by accident. My friend wanted to try ortho C and found that the lens which I inserted for him was irritating. I took it out with the intention of repositioning it on the cornea. He noticed that he could see clearer after I took it off. He only did the drill with the lens on for less than a minute.
At first, I thought it was still a physiological phenomenon, and it was due to the receptiveness of the eye. I had him wear the lenses longer and did the drills more frequently; but once he did that, his visual acuity was not as sharp as it was initially. He regained the sharpness after he reduced the wearing time while performing the drills. I realized that if the lens was worn too long, it would induce ortho K once the solution drains and the lens presses against the cornea instead of “drawing” on it. The deterioration in vision suggests that ortho C and ortho K do not mix.
Since it is possible to improve the visual acuity of the mild and moderate myopic eye in just a few minutes, it is an indication that neurology plays an important part in the reversal process. It is also an indication that neurology was involved in the problem. The excessive tension of the oblique muscles was responsible for the tension of the ciliary muscle and the slack of the rectus muscles.
