Ortho-K

Wake up to clearer daytime vision.

Orthokeratology uses custom overnight lenses to gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, offering a non-surgical and reversible alternative for many patients.

What is it

What is Ortho-K?

Ortho-K uses special overnight rigid gas permeable lenses, similar to retainers, to temporarily reshape the cornea. You wear them while you sleep, then enjoy clearer daytime vision without glasses or contacts.

Who it's for

Who can benefit?

Daytime freedom

People who want freedom from glasses or contacts during the day.

Active lifestyles

Sports, swimming, skiing, biking, and outdoor activities.

Children with increasing myopia

Ortho-K may help manage progression in children. Suitability depends on an individual evaluation.

Comfort-sensitive patients

Those who experience dryness, allergies, or inconvenience with daytime contact lenses.

Demanding professions

Firefighters, military personnel, lifeguards, and others who need practical vision freedom.

Is it permanent

Is it permanent?

No. Ortho-K is reversible. The lenses act like retainers; if wear is stopped, the cornea gradually returns to its original shape.

Children & teens

Can it help children and teenagers?

Studies have shown Ortho-K may help slow myopia progression in children. Suitability depends on an individual evaluation, and our team is happy to talk through whether it makes sense for your child.
