ORTHOKERATOLOGY (ORTHO-K)

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

A non-surgical procedure that involves wearing specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses overnight.

These lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, allowing you to see clearly during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Who can benefit?

 Children and adults with myopia:

  • Particularly useful for children and teenagers in controlling the progression of myopia.

 Individuals with mild to moderate myopia:

  • Generally effective for people with mild to moderate near-sightedness.

 Those who participate in sports:

  • Useful for athletes or those who engage in physical activities where glasses and contact lenses are inconvenient.

 Non-surgical candidates:

  • Ideal for individuals who want a non-invasive alternative to surgery like LASIK.

Benefits of Ortho-K

 Myopia control:

  • Can help slow the progression of myopia in children and teenagers.

 Temporary correction of myopia:

  • Enjoy clear daytime vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

 Reversible and adjustable:

  • Changes to the cornea are temporary and reversible, and adjustments can be made to the lenses as needed.
