Ortho-K

Ortho-K

Welcome to the Future of Vision Care-Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a cutting-edge, non-surgical vision correction treatment that can help you achieve clear vision without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. By wearing special gas-permeable lenses overnight, Ortho-K gently reshapes the cornea, improving your vision during the day.

What is Ortho-K?

Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, uses custom-designed contact lenses worn overnight to safely reshape the cornea of your eye. While you sleep, the lenses gently correct the shape of your cornea, allowing light to properly focus on the retina and providing clear vision throughout the day.

By reshaping the cornea, Ortho-K lenses eliminate the need for glasses or daily contact lenses, providing a convenient and non-invasive alternative for those who prefer freedom from corrective eyewear during the day.

How Ortho-K Works

  1. Overnight Wear - Ortho-K lenses are designed to be worn while you sleep. They gently mold the cornea to the desired shape, optimizing light entry and providing clearer vision upon waking.

  2. No Daytime Lenses - When you remove the lenses in the morning, you experience clear vision all day long without needing glasses or contact lenses.

  3. Safe and Reversible - Ortho-K is a non-surgical, safe procedure with results that are completely reversible. If you decide to stop wearing the lenses, your eyes will gradually return to their original shape.

  4. Custom Fit - Each pair of Ortho-K lenses is custom-fitted to your eyes, ensuring optimal comfort and maximum effectiveness.

Ortho-K for Myopia Control in Children

Ortho-K lenses are not only for correcting vision but also play a crucial role in myopia control for children. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common refractive error in children, and it tends to worsen as they grow. Research has shown that Ortho-K can help slow down the progression of myopia in children, making it an excellent option for those at risk of developing high levels of myopia.

  • Slow the Progression of Myopia - Studies indicate that Ortho-K can reduce the rate at which myopia progresses, helping to preserve long-term eye health and potentially reduce the risk of eye diseases later in life.

  • Ideal for Active Kids - Since Ortho-K is worn overnight, children can enjoy clear vision during the day without the hassle of wearing glasses or contacts, making it an ideal option for active kids who participate in sports and outdoor activities.

  • Safe and Effective - Ortho-K has been clinically proven to be both safe and effective for children. Regular follow-ups ensure that the lenses fit correctly and the vision correction remains optimal.
