ORTHO-K JAPANESE SERVICES IN VIETNAM

Orthokeratology (hard contact lenses) are a method to eliminate refractive errors during the day, while effectively controlling myopia progression for children, through the mechanism of shaping the cornea when the patient wears it for 6-8 hours while sleeping. In Vietnam, Japan International Eye Hospital is a pioneer in Ortho-K services that meet Japanese standards, helping patients to visit and use the product safely and effectively, at a reasonable cost and with international quality.

Japanese standard examination and prescription process

• Thorough examination and general consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive eye examination (refraction, intraocular pressure, vision test). After that, the patient is consulted by an ophthalmologist to determine the suitability of the eyes for Ortho-K glasses.
• Determine eye parameters, try on glasses and order glasses: When the eyes meet the conditions to use Ortho-K glasses, the patient will have a corneal map taken to determine specific eye parameters. In particular, the patient will be able to try on glasses to check the fit and comfort before ordering glasses. Ortho-K glasses will be personalized according to each patient's eye condition.
• Receiving glasses and instructions on how to use them: On the day the patient receives Ortho-K glasses, the hospital's refractionist will provide detailed instructions on how to use and preserve the glasses, helping the patient to put on and take off the glasses easily, achieving optimal treatment results and preventing broken glasses.
• Eye re-examination and monitoring of usage effectiveness: After starting to use Ortho-K, the patient will be monitored periodically every 1 week - 1 month - 3 months to ensure that the corneal adjustment process goes smoothly, and any problems that arise (if any) are handled.

Leading machinery system from Japan and other advanced countries in the world

Patients will receive comprehensive and in-depth eye examinations with the support of a modern medical equipment system. Corneal measurement and analysis will be performed accurately, Ortho-K lens design will be personalized according to each different corneal condition, helping patients achieve optimal treatment results and feel comfortable during use.

The system of machines currently being applied at Japan International Eye Hospital includes:

• 3D Vision Chart vision testing system (Topcon - Japan) with 3D operating mechanism, the patient's vision test results will be completely accurate and objective, regardless of the clinic's lighting, regardless of the patient's sitting distance.
• Slit Lamp machine (Takagi - Japan) helps doctors observe the surface of the eyeball, identify abnormalities such as inflammation, dry eyes, and check the central retina.
• The Visante Connected Atlas System (Carl Zeiss - Germany) provides accurate parameters on corneal structure, measures corneal maps and corneal thickness, effectively supporting doctors in making appropriate treatment recommendations.

High-quality glasses from Japan and Vietnam, suitable for Asian eyes

• Breath-O Correct glasses (SEED - Japan): Wide treatment spectrum up to 8 degrees of nearsightedness and 3 degrees of astigmatism, personalized design for flat and shallow eyeballs, suitable for the majority of Asians, exclusive Methyl Methacrylate & Silicone materials are shatterproof and have high resistance, oxygen permeability is 3 times superior to conventional glasses.
• GOV glasses (Starvision - Vietnam): Outstanding treatment threshold up to 10 degrees of nearsightedness and 5 degrees of astigmatism, the design does not use available frames but is produced specifically according to each user's corneal shape, Hydrogel material has high oxygen permeability, especially glasses can be used for people with keratoconus, farsighted and presbyopic patients.

A team of experienced Vietnamese - Japanese medical experts

Japan International Eye Hospital is 100% invested and directly managed by Paris Miki Holdings Group, so the staff is always updated with knowledge, participating in training courses with experienced ophthalmologists from Japan. When using the Ortho-K service, patients will be accurately diagnosed with their eye condition and receive advice from a team of doctors with nearly 30 years of experience, carefully instructed on how to use and preserve glasses by the refractionist and supported to answer questions remotely with a customer care specialist.

The Ortho-K glasses service at the Japan International Eye Hospital is being applied at a reasonable cost, ranging from 18 - 35 million VND for a pair of glasses used within 2 - 3 years, including a set of tools (storage bag, glasses case, glasses removal tool, artificial tears, saline solution physiotherapy, lens cleaning solution) and 3-month follow-up visits. Service costs will be specifically and transparently announced to patients during their hospital visits.
