Ortho-k is short for orthokeratology, the method of reshaping the cornea with small contact lenses while you sleep. The lenses are removed upon waking and you will enjoy clear vision throughout the day without glasses or contacts!
More info:
No more glasses!
The reshaping of the cornea occurs while wearing specially-designed rigid contact lenses overnight. During the day, no correction is needed.
Myopia Control
Ortho-k is one method of myopia control, a treatment plan that is FDA-approved to slow the progression of near-sightedness in children.
Safe and Reversible
This therapy is non-surgical and non-invasive. Once you stop wearing the Ortho-K lenses, vision will return to it's pre-treatment level.
Am I a good candidate?
Ortho-K is prescribed to correct near-sightedness (myopia) but can also correct astigmatism and far-sightedness (hyperopia), and, in some cases, the need for reading glasses in middle-age (presbyopia).
