Re: Hyperopicorthokeratology
This has been mooted here from time to time. I think that the consensus has always been that it may be counter-productive for people with keratoconus, but I'd be interested to hear the up to date thinking of some of the optometrists who post here.

Not an expert. However, if I remember correctly this can actually significantly thin your central cone?

Re: Hyperopicorthokeratology
That is certainly what I remember. But I'm wondering if there is any fresh thinking among optometrists?
