I'd recommend against ortho-K

Approximately 1/3 of patients quit using them within a year and 75% of people complain of discomfort. Plus, those lenses predispose you to developing a corneal eye infection and recurrent erosions of the cornea (like scraping your knee over and over but it's on your eye).

If you really want refractive correction, do PRK/LASIK/SMILE. Or just wear contacts/glasses.

I'm pretty sure he's already worn that. That was like phase 1. Transition lenses

Get 2 pairs so you have a backup. Go cheap. Their prescriptions change quickly

He might be a little young for this, but in a couple years look into ortho-K

On the plus side he won’t shoot his eye out, the glasses will protect him unless

Titanium frames are the most durable but you select several for durability then
