The usual recommendation for those needing iseikonic correction is to wear contact lenses. The effect of vertex distance is removed and the effect of center thickness is also almost removed, meaning there is minimal and likely unnoticeable image size difference. This is a good solution for those who can tolerate contact lenses.

This same effect was not found in patients who had worn soft contact lenses for an extended period of time. Greater corneal steepening was found in patients wearing soft contact lenses than in patients wearing rigid gas permeable contact lenses, [24] suggesting that the latter may slow the progression of myopia by flattening the cornea.
The 100 trillion microbes that live in our bodies are supposed to stay put. Stomach bugs belong in our stomachs; skin bacteria on our skin; eye bacteria in our eyes. But in the process of putting ...
Contact lens cases are recognized as a "potential source of pathogens associated with corneal ulcers" [1] and according to Moorfields Eye Hospital, contact lens wear is “the most prevalent risk factor for new cases of corneal ulcers.” [1] Contaminants "isolated from contact lens associated corneal ulcers have often been shown to be" [1] the ...

Aphakia is the absence of the lens of the eye, due to surgical removal, such as in cataract surgery, a perforating wound or ulcer, or congenital anomaly. It causes a loss of ability to maintain focus (accommodation), high degree of farsightedness (), [1] and a deep anterior chamber.
Orthokeratology or simply Ortho-K is a temporary corneal reshaping process using rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. [118] Overnight wearing of specially designed contact lenses will temporarily reshape cornea, so patients may see clearly without any lenses in daytime. Orthokeratology can correct myopia up to –6D.
