ORTHOKERATOLOGY

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical procedure using specially designed contact lenses to gently reshape the curvature of the eye to improve vision.

This is a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that eliminates the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. Using specially designed therapeutic contact lenses, vision is improved by gently reshaping your eye WHILE YOU SLEEP.

Simply insert the specially fitted lenses at bedtime. When you awake, you will have clear, sharp, natural vision for your waking hours.

This safe and effective treatment can correct near-sightedness (including high prescriptions), farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia (blurred near vision). Orthokeratology is a great alternative to LASIK. Suited for those adverse to the risks or are not ready for surgery.
