Freedom From Daytime Glasses and Contacts With Ortho-K

If you’ve ever wished you could see clearly throughout the day without relying on glasses or contact lenses, Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) might be the perfect solution for you. This innovative, non-surgical treatment gently reshapes your cornea while you sleep, giving you clear vision the moment you wake up - no glasses or contacts required.

 

What Is Ortho-K?

Ortho-K involves wearing specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses overnight. While you sleep, these lenses temporarily reshape the surface of your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia). When you remove the lenses in the morning, your corneas maintain their new shape throughout the day, allowing you to enjoy clear, natural vision without daytime corrective lenses.

 

How Ortho-K Works

The process starts with a comprehensive eye exam and corneal topography to create a detailed map of your eyes. Using this data, custom Ortho-K lenses are designed to fit your eyes precisely. The reshaping effect is completely reversible - if you stop wearing the lenses, your corneas gradually return to their original shape, and your vision reverts to its previous prescription.

 

Who Can Benefit From Ortho-K?

Ortho-K is an excellent option for:

  • Active individuals who find glasses or daytime contacts inconvenient during sports or outdoor activities.

  • Professionals who want clear vision without dealing with lenses during the day.

  • Children and teens with progressive myopia - studies show Ortho-K can help slow the progression of nearsightedness.

  • Anyone seeking a non-surgical alternative to LASIK or other vision correction procedures.

 

The Advantages of Ortho-K

  • Freedom from glasses and daytime lenses

  • Safe and reversible

  • Comfortable overnight wear

  • Effective myopia management for children

  • Improved convenience and confidence throughout the day

 

Is Ortho-K Right for You?

Every patient’s eyes are unique, and success with Ortho-K depends on factors such as your prescription, corneal shape, and lifestyle. Dr. Brown and his team provide thorough evaluations to determine if Ortho-K is the best option for achieving your vision goals.
