Can Dream Lenses Really Help Elementary Schoolers with Vision Correction?

When do you think people are most active?

I believe it's during their teenage years.

Looking back at my own childhood, I remember playing very rough in elementary school,

and many of my friends got injured as a result.

If they were boys, there were probably even more mischievous ones, right?

In fact, my 10-year-old cousin has poor eyesight and wears glasses,

but he often breaks them while playing.

Even adults find wearing glasses inconvenient, but elementary schoolers must feel it even more intensely, right?

As an adult, if your eyesight is poor, you can compensate in various ways, such as wearing glasses, wearing contact lenses (of various types),

or undergoing vision correction surgery.

What about minors, like elementary school students, who aren't adults?

Since they are always in a growth phase, they cannot undergo vision correction surgery,

and hard or soft contact lenses are even more difficult for them to wear, so they generally compensate with glasses.

However, some people find wearing glasses inconvenient and frustrating,

experience dizziness, or break their glasses while playing, etc.

For some, wearing glasses is not an adequate solution.

That's why I'd like to introduce dream lenses for elementary school students, which can be an alternative to glasses.

What? Can't elementary school students wear contact lenses?

Unlike regular lenses, these lenses have the special feature of being worn while sleeping.

Typically, when you think of regular contact lenses, you wear them while awake and go about your daily life.

However, elementary school dream lenses, as the name suggests, combine ‘dream’ and ‘lens’

and work by correcting vision while you sleep.

If you look at the corneas of elementary school students with poor vision,

you'll notice that their corneal shape differs from those with good vision.

Elementary school dream lenses change the shape of the cornea while sleeping,

a correction method that adjusts the progression of mild myopia and astigmatism.

After wearing them for about 8 hours while sleeping and removing them in the morning, you can feel your vision has improved.

The improved vision can last from one day to as long as a week,

which is why many parents are now seeking them as an alternative to glasses.

There are also several questions and concerns about elementary school dream lenses.

Q&A with Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic

Q. Dream lenses are said to correct vision, but

what happens if I stop using the lenses?

A: If you stop using dream lenses, your vision will return to its original state.

Also, since dream lenses correct vision non-surgically,

you don't need to worry about side effects, complications, or corneal degeneration.

Q. I'm an adult, and I'm afraid of getting vision correction surgery,

so I want to wear dream lenses. Is it okay for adults?

A: Yes, adults can also use dream lenses.

However, the effect is generally better for children.

Children are in a growth phase where changes occur in their eyeballs,

so the correction effect tends to be more pronounced!

When vision deteriorates in elementary school, various inconveniences arise.

If a child constantly squints because they can't see well,

wrinkles can form externally,

and since vision is closely related to the brain,

situations can arise where they fall behind their peers in language ability and comprehension.

Therefore, it's important for parents to frequently check their children's vision,

and it's best to visit an ophthalmologist to receive appropriate treatment tailored to the child.

Today, we learned about elementary school dream lenses.

I hope this information was helpful to parents of active children in their growth phase :)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are elementary school dream lenses?

Unlike regular lenses, elementary school dream lenses are special lenses worn while sleeping to correct vision. As the name suggests, combining ‘dream’ and ‘lens’, they improve vision by changing the shape of the cornea during sleep.

How do dream lenses correct vision?

Dream lenses correct vision by changing the shape of the cornea while sleeping, thereby controlling the progression of mild myopia or astigmatism. After wearing them for about 8 hours, you can feel your vision has improved when you remove them in the morning.

What happens to vision if dream lens use is stopped?

If dream lens use is stopped, vision will return to its original state. Since it is a non-surgical correction method, there is no need to worry about side effects, complications, or corneal degeneration.

How long does the vision correction effect of dream lenses last?

The vision corrected by dream lenses can last from one day to as long as a week after removing the lenses in the morning. For this reason, many parents are seeking them as an alternative to glasses.

Can adults also use dream lenses?

Yes, adults can also wear dream lenses. However, since children are in a growth phase and experience active changes in their eyeballs, the correction effect is generally considered better for them than for adults.

Why are dream lenses particularly good for elementary school students?

Elementary school students are very active, which makes wearing glasses inconvenient and increases the risk of breaking them. Dream lenses correct vision while sleeping, allowing children to be active without glasses during the day, making them especially useful for growing children.
