About this Project

I have been wearing OK lenses for almost 10 years, starting when I was in grade 4. This treatment definetely has had its up-and-downs in the industry, with some researchers criticizing its permanent harm to the cornea, while others look at its ability to slow down the increase in eye power.

As mentioned in the Introduction, parents are concerned about the right age for their kids to start wearing OK lenses. Given that I started wearing at a young age, I’m curious if the initial wearing age may affect treatment outcome.

Appreciation

This project was created as a part of Kane’s Data Science Bootcamp. & a special shoutout to Yuhan for helping me tones with this project.
