Our daughter is using Ortho-K lenses. She's been wearing them for about 10 months now and they are very good. They are more 'myopia control' than fixing the underlying issue, but it means she can do sports etc without worrying about glasses (she's still little).

For the uninitiated (as I was), they are hard plastic lenses that are worn at night. Initially the optometrist will take a variety or measurements of the eye and then a pair of lenses is manufactured. They are thicker than the standard disposable lenses and take a while to get used to and can be uncomfortable for a few weeks until you adjust to them. They work by shaping the outer part of the eye during sleep, when removed in the morning the outer part of the eyes have retained the shape from the lenses. Light entering the eye is then bent correctly and vision is almost 20/20.

If she was to stop wearing them her eyes would return to her standard myopic level, but hopefully not be any worse than before.
