(Ortho-K) at Eyes & Optics

What is Orthokeratology?

Orthokeratology, often called Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction method that uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lens retainers to gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. In the morning, you wake up to clear, sharp vision without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

How Does Ortho-K Work?

Ortho-K lenses are custom-fitted to your eyes based on precise measurements of your cornea. These lenses temporarily reshape the surface of your eye, correcting refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. The effects last throughout the day, providing clear vision without the need for corrective eyewear.

Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?

Orthokeratology is ideal for:

• Children and Teens: Ortho-K is a proven method to slow the progression of myopia in children, reducing the risk of high myopia and its associated complications later in life.

• Active Adults: If you lead an active lifestyle or participate in sports or swimming, Ortho-K offers freedom from glasses or contact lenses during the day.

• Professionals: Ortho-K is perfect for those who work in environments where glasses or contacts may be inconvenient, such as dusty or dry conditions.

Benefits of Orthokeratology

• Non-Surgical: Unlike LASIK or other refractive surgeries, Ortho-K is reversible and does not involve surgery.

• Daytime Freedom: Enjoy clear vision all day without glasses or contact lenses.

• Myopia Control: Studies show that Ortho-K can significantly slow the progression of nearsightedness in children.

• Comfortable and Convenient: The lenses are worn while sleeping, so you won't feel them during the day.

Is Ortho-K Safe?

Yes, Ortho-K is FDA-approved for myopia and astigmatism and has been used safely for decades. At Eyes & Optics we ensure a comprehensive fitting process and provide ongoing care to monitor your eye health.
