Myopia of -5 and -4.5
I have myopia of -5 and -4.5. I don't want to go with LASIK because of its side effects.. Is orthokeratology or corrective lenses is safe? Are there any side effects? How much approx it may cost in Bangalore? Or is there any better treatment?

Hey, orthokeratology requires multiple visits  and recorrection to fit your eyes appropriatly ,if you don't have astigmatism you can choose this ,around 20-30k . Corrective lens  require single visit and much cheaper.
