In myopia, images of the outside world do not focus precisely on the retina but rather in front of it, either because the eyeball is too long or because the cornea and lens bend light rays too much. Just as orthodontists use braces to correct the position of crooked teeth, orthokeratologists employ hard contact lenses to alter the curvature of the cornea to improve vision. At least 300 optometrists now specialize in "ortho-k," and tens of thousands of Americans are believed to have undergone the increasingly popular treatment...
