Ortho -K

What is Ortho-K?

Ortho-K, or Orthokeratology, is a non-surgical treatment designed to correct myopia (nearsightedness) through the use of specialized contact lenses. These custom-made lenses are worn overnight, gently reshaping the cornea while you sleep. Upon waking, patients can enjoy clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

How Does Ortho-K Work?

During the night, the Ortho-K lenses gently change the cornea's surface, allowing light to focus directly on the retina. This temporary reshaping of the cornea means that patients can see clearly during the day without corrective lenses. Ortho-K is especially beneficial for individuals with busy lifestyles, who want to avoid wearing glasses or contacts during their daily activities.

Benefits of Ortho-K

Freedom from Glasses and Contacts: Enjoy clear vision all day without the need for corrective eyewear.

• Non-Surgical: Ortho-K is a safe and reversible alternative to laser eye surgery.

• Slow Myopia Progression: For children and teens, Ortho-K has been shown to slow the progression of myopia, reducing the risk of severe vision problems later in life.

• Convenient and Comfortable: Wear the lenses overnight and remove them in the morning, allowing for a hassle-free daily routine.

​​​​​​​Ortho-K for Kids

Ortho-K is an excellent option for children experiencing myopia. Early intervention can help slow down the progression of their nearsightedness, making it an effective preventive measure. Children appreciate the ease of wearing Ortho-K lenses, as they can be active during the day without glasses or contacts hindering their activities.

Ortho-K for Adults

Adults also benefit from Ortho-K as a safe and effective vision correction method. Whether you’re an athlete, a professional, or someone who simply prefers clear vision without the hassle of corrective lenses, Ortho-K provides the flexibility and freedom to maintain an active lifestyle.
