What is Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)?

Ortho-K is a non-surgical treatment using specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea and improve vision during the day without glasses or contacts.

Who is a good candidate for Ortho-K lenses?

Individuals with mild to moderate myopia, including children and adults seeking non-surgical vision correction, are often good candidates after a thorough eye exam.

How long does it take to see results?

Many patients notice improved vision after the first night, with full correction typically achieved within one to two weeks of consistent overnight wear.

Are Ortho-K lenses safe to wear overnight?

When properly fitted and cared for under professional guidance, Ortho-K lenses are safe for overnight use, though regular follow-ups are essential to maintain eye health.

Can Ortho-K lenses slow down myopia progression?

Yes, studies show Ortho-K lenses can effectively slow the progression of myopia, especially in children and teenagers, helping protect long-term eye health.
