Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology

Clear vision without surgery, glasses, or daytime contacts.

Children: Currently, there is a worldwide myopia (nearsightedness) pandemic sweeping the globe, with cases of the condition climbing every day. By 2050, it is estimated that 5 billion people, or 50% of the world’s population, will be myopic.

Adults: What if you could correct your eyesight and reduce your need for corrective lenses, all while you sleep?

It may sound impossible. But for many, it’s a reality with Orthokeratology (Ortho-K).

What is Orthokeratology?

Ortho-K uses a special designed gas permeable contact lens to temporarily reshape your cornea while you sleep. This results in clear vision when you simply remove the lenses the following morning.

The change in the shape of the cornea as well as the vision correction you experience, will easily revert if you discontinue the use of the Ortho-K lenses.

What visual problems can Ortho-K correct?

Ortho-K is most commonly used to temporarily correct myopia (nearsightedness). In some cases, it can also be used in adults to correct myopia, lesser degrees of astigmatism and farsightedness.
