Orthokeratology
Welcome to a groundbreaking vision correction solution – Orthokeratology lenses, often referred to as Ortho-K or Overnight Vision Correction. Designed to reshape the cornea gently while you sleep, these lenses offer an innovative way to achieve clear vision without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.
How Do Orthokeratology Lenses Work?
Ortho-K lenses are crafted from highly breathable materials, allowing oxygen to reach your eyes throughout the night. As you sleep, the lenses gently reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. This means you can wake up with clearer vision, experiencing the world without the hindrance of glasses or daytime contacts.
The Benefits of Ortho-K:
- Daytime Freedom: Experience clear vision during the day without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses. Ideal for those with active lifestyles or those who simply prefer lens-free daytime vision.
- Myopia Management: Orthokeratology has shown promise in slowing the progression of myopia in children, making it a proactive choice for parents concerned about their child's vision.
- Non-Invasive and Reversible: Unlike surgical procedures, Ortho-K is non-invasive and reversible. If you decide to stop using the lenses, your cornea will return to its original shape over time.
- Great for Sports and Activities: Perfect for athletes or those engaged in outdoor activities, as there are no lenses to worry about during sports or recreational pursuits.
- Ocular Surface Disease: A great alternative for patient's who are experiencing symptoms of dry eye and eye irritation with traditional soft contact lenses. As Orthokeratology lenses are only woren at night time, the contact lens free experience during the day can reduce ocular surface symptoms during the day.
