Prof Helen Swarbrick discusses a new clinical technique for the treatment of myopia (or short-sightedness) that involves reshaping the cornea using a hard contact lens worn at night.

  • Need help with short sightedness? Look no further.

  • how come there's not enough aids with this contact that reshape the cornea?

  • What is the result of this. Is this for those people who have myopia? And does this make you enable to watch things FAR away clearly or NEAR clearly?

  • what is the name of this treatment?

  • Thank you for uploading the video, I am a kid in grade 6 and I am in the middle of this treatment at the momment, and for me, I just think it would be really great if I could do alot more sport and physical education activities outside of school, because like you said, glasses do tend to put children off more sport and physical education. Thanks alot for some further information on this study of myopia.

    P.S. 1st Comment!
