How Ortho-K Lenses Offer a Non-Surgical Solution for Perfect Vision

If you’re searching for a way to achieve sharp, natural vision without relying on glasses or considering eye surgery, Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) might be your answer. This innovative treatment uses custom-fitted lenses worn while you sleep to gently reshape your cornea, allowing you to enjoy clear sight all day long.
 

What Are Ortho-K Lenses?

Ortho-K lenses are specially designed, gas-permeable contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. By wearing them overnight, you can enjoy clear, glasses-free vision throughout the day. These lenses are FDA-approved and are most commonly used to correct nearsightedness (myopia), but they can also address mild astigmatism and other refractive errors.
 

How Does Ortho-K Work?

During a comprehensive eye exam, our optometrists will map the surface of your cornea and design custom Ortho-K lenses tailored to your eyes. When you wear these lenses overnight, they gradually and painlessly reshape your cornea to the desired curvature. This gentle molding process temporarily corrects your vision so you can see clearly all day - no surgery, no daytime contacts, and no glasses required.
 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ortho-K?

Ortho-K is an excellent option for:

• Children and teens with progressive myopia (to help slow its advancement)
• Adults who want freedom from glasses and contacts during the day
• Athletes and active individuals who find glasses or daytime contacts inconvenient
• People who are not candidates for LASIK or prefer a non-surgical solution

The Benefits of Ortho-K Lenses

• Non-Surgical: No lasers, incisions, or recovery time
• Reversible: If you stop wearing the lenses, your cornea will gradually return to its original shape
• Safe for Kids: Ortho-K is one of the most effective ways to manage myopia progression in children
• Daytime Freedom: Enjoy sports, swimming, and daily activities without the hassle of glasses or contacts
