3 months does not constitute long term success. You may be lucky, and wear them for many years. But, this is still the same old "orthokeratology" that's been around along time. I've treated many very unhappy patients because of it. It does work initially, but then corneal moulding and instability develope. The ability to wear the contact lenses begins to diminish over time, and the vision becomes more and more variable and unpredictable. It is a gradual process. Many are pleased at the initial success, but I've never seen anyone who could do it for more than a few years. The long term risk for corneal scarring and infections is, in my opinion, higher than with LASIK.
Again, you might be the lucky one. Keep us posted.
