Ortho-K Management

Understanding Ortho-K

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical and FDA-approved treatment that gently reshapes the cornea overnight using specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses. By wearing these lenses while sleeping, patients can wake up with clearer vision that lasts throughout the day, eliminating the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

How Does Ortho-K Work?

Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the cornea overnight. This temporary reshaping corrects vision, so no glasses or daytime contacts are needed. It has been used safely for years, improving the lives of thousands of patients. Proper hygiene and regular check-ups help minimize risks.

Who Is Ortho-K For?

It is ideal for children and adults (especially athletes) who want to slow the progression of myopia and enjoy clear vision without the constraints of traditional eyewear. This treatment helps manage conditions and refractive errors such as: 
  • Myopia (nearsightedness)
  • Hyperopia
  • Astigmatism.
