An Introduction to Ortho-K

Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is a treatment using overnight contact lens that can help manage a patient’s myopia or nearsightedness.

Ortho-K lenses are designed to reshape the cornea overnight, allowing for clear vision during the day and also decreasing the progression of myopia without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

Ortho-K is a popular choice for patients who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to correct their vision. By wearing these lenses overnight, patients can enjoy improved vision throughout the day, making activities like sports, driving, and everyday tasks much easier and more convenient.

Another benefit of Ortho-K is the safety profile. Unlike laser eye surgery, which carries some risks and potential complications, Ortho-K is a non-invasive and reversible treatment option. Patients can simply stop wearing the lenses if they experience any discomfort or changes in their vision.

Children with myopia or nearsightedness can benefit from Ortho-K as it limits the normal progression of myopia. Ortho-K has been FDA-approved as a treatment for myopia.
