Ortho-K
Tired of wearing glasses or contacts all day?
Ortho-K Can Help! Clear Vision Without Glasses or Surgery is Achievable.
What Is Ortho-K?
Orthokeratology uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea while sleeping. In the morning, remove the lenses and enjoy clear, glasses-free vision all day long. It’s an FDA-approved, reversible treatment that’s particularly effective for adults, children and teens. It is an effective treatment for children whose myopia is progressing.
There’s no surgery, no lasers—just well-established science and consistent results.
- Non-surgical alternative to LASIK
- Slows myopia progression in children
- Provides all-day clear vision without correction
- Safe and reversible
- Ideal for athletes, kids, and adults with active lifestyles
How does Orth-k work?
Think of your cornea as the eye’s front-and-center focusing powerhouse—a clear, dome-shaped window that bends light to hit the retina just right. It’s made of flexible tissue, which is what makes Ortho-K possible. Using a corneal topographer (a fancy light-reflecting device that never touches your eye), your optometrist creates a detailed map of your cornea’s curves and contours. This map is used to craft a custom lens that fits your eye like a glove—minus the discomfort.
Why Parents Are Turning to Ortho-K
- Slows Down Myopia Progression: Childhood nearsightedness isn’t just about blurry distance vision. Left unchecked, it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life. Ortho-K helps reduce this risk by slowing the progression of myopia.
- Daytime Freedom: Active children benefit from not having to wear glasses or daytime contact lenses. From sports to social confidence, the ability to see clearly without eyewear can make a meaningful difference.
- Safe and Reversible: Ortho-K is non-surgical and completely reversible. If treatment is paused, the eyes gradually return to their original shape.
