What is Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)?
Clear daytime vision—without glasses or contacts.
Orthokeratology—often called Ortho-K—is a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses specially designed retainers to gently reshape the cornea (front surface of the eye) while you sleep.
The retainers are put in before bed and worn overnight. They are removed in the morning, resulting in clear, glasses-free vision throughout the day.
What are the benefits of Ortho-K?
Ortho-K is one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to slow myopia progression and protect long-term eye health.
The benefits of Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) include:
✔️ Freedom from glasses & daytime contacts – Perfect for active kids and athletes.
✔️ Slows myopia progression – Studies show Ortho-K can significantly reduce the worsening of nearsightedness in children & teens.
✔️ Non-surgical & reversible – Unlike LASIK, Ortho-K is completely reversible and does not permanently change the eye.
✔️ Proven & safe – Backed by decades of research and widely prescribed around the world.
What to expect:
Initial Consultation – We review your eye health, prescription, and lifestyle to determine if Ortho-K is the right fit.
Custom Lens Fitting – Each pair of Ortho-K lenses is designed specifically for your eyes using advanced corneal mapping.
Overnight Treatment – Lenses are worn while sleeping. In the morning, they’re removed, leaving clear vision for the day.
Ongoing Care – Regular follow-ups ensure safe, effective results and monitor myopia progression.
✔️ Children with increasing nearsightedness (myopia)
✔️ Active kids who struggle with glasses at school or while playing sports
✔️ Parents seeking a non-surgical option to protect their child’s long-term eye health
