ORTHOKERATOLOGY

With OrthoK lenses, you can wake up to clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts. These lenses work their magic overnight, reshaping your cornea so you can see clearly during the day. It's like having a personal eye fairy!

What is OrthoK?

OK Night Lenses

Orthokeratology, commonly known as OrthoK, is a non-surgical treatment that uses specially designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea and temporarily correct myopia (short-sightedness) in children. This treatment has several benefits, including improved vision without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses, reduced progression of myopia, and increased self-esteem and confidence in children.

Additionally, OrthoK lenses are safe and easy to use, making them a popular choice for parents looking for an effective and convenient solution for their child's vision correction needs.

How does OrthoK work?

The magic of OrthoK

OrthoK works by using specially designed rigid contact lenses to reshape the cornea. These lenses are worn overnight, and as they apply gentle pressure to the cornea, they temporarily change its shape. This change in shape allows light to focus correctly on the retina, resulting in clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

The lenses are custom-made for each patient, and the degree of correction can be adjusted as needed. OrthoK is a safe and effective option for those who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, and it can provide clear vision for up to several days after the lenses are removed.

How to get started?

Start your OrthoK journey

Getting started with Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, involves several steps. First, you will need to schedule an appointment with an eye care professional who specializes in Ortho-K. During this appointment, your eye doctor will perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment. If you are a good candidate, your eye doctor will take detailed measurements of your cornea to create custom contact lenses that are designed to fit your eyes perfectly. You will then be given a set of lenses to wear overnight for a specified period of time. Your eye doctor will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the treatment is working effectively. It is important to follow your eye doctor's instructions carefully and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible outcome.
