Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Ortho-k is a program, not a one-time purchase, the first year includes fitting, lenses and multiple reviews, then ongoing annual costs. The effect is temporary and reverses if you stop wearing the lenses.
💰 Ways to save
- Factor the ongoing annual cost (reviews and lens renewals), not just the first-year fee.
- For children, ortho-k's myopia-control benefit may justify the cost beyond convenience, discuss with the optometrist.
- Look after the lenses carefully, replacements are a significant cost if lost or damaged.
