Hi,

Ortho-K is as effective as glasses and soft contact lenses to correct your vision. It is meant to correct only low to moderate myopia, and not effective for correcting astigmatism.

The effect would only last for 24 hours - 48 hours, and you would need to wear it every night If you do not want to wear glasses.
