    Ask your doctor about orthokeratology.

    I’ve never tried it, but my wife was an optometrist and she used to fit them for her patients.

    If you are a candidate for it, they fit you with contact lenses, which you wear while you’re sleeping. The lenses reshape your eye to correct your vision. You can see while you’re wearing them, but you would take the contact lenses out when you wake up, and you can see during the day without them.

    As I understand it, eventually you might only have to wear the lenses every other night to still get the vision correction.

    It’s typically cheaper than LASIK. If you’re not happy with the result, you just stop wearing the lenses and your eyes will return to their natural shape.
