What Makes Ortho-K Special?
Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) is a revolutionary vision correction method that involves wearing custom-designed contact lenses overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness). Wake up each morning to a world of clear, natural vision without the need for daytime lenses or glasses.
Benefits of Ortho-K
Ortho-K is ideal for both children and adults, offering a non-surgical solution to vision correction. It's especially beneficial for those involved in sports or those who experience dryness or discomfort with regular contact lenses.

Why Choose
Ortho-K?
Non-Surgical & Reversible
Ortho-K provides a non-invasive, reversible option for vision correction. Unlike LASIK, there's no surgery involved, making it a safer choice for many individuals.
Daytime Freedom
Experience clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight, so you can enjoy visual freedom during the day.
Ideal for Active Lifestyles
Ortho-K is perfect for those who lead active lifestyles. Whether you're into sports or outdoor activities, enjoy the freedom of clear vision without the inconvenience of glasses or daytime contacts.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, works by gently reshaping the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye, while you sleep. Custom-designed, rigid gas-permeable lenses are worn overnight. These lenses apply precise pressure to the cornea, flattening it to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness). When you wake up and remove the lenses, your cornea retains its new shape, allowing light to focus correctly on the retina, resulting in clear vision throughout the day.
This non-surgical method is a safe and effective alternative to traditional contact lenses or eyeglasses, especially for those seeking freedom from daytime eyewear. The effects of Ortho-K are temporary, so the lenses need to be worn regularly at night to maintain clear vision. It’s an innovative solution that offers the convenience of glasses-free and contact-free vision during the day.
Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?
Children with Myopia
Ortho-K is an excellent option for children with progressive myopia. It not only corrects vision but has also been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children, reducing the risk of developing high myopia and associated eye health issues in the future. Give your child the gift of clear vision and a proactive approach to eye health.
Active Adults
Adults who lead an active lifestyle, such as athletes, can greatly benefit from Ortho-K. Imagine enjoying sports, outdoor activities, and workouts without the inconvenience of glasses or the dryness of contact lenses. Ortho-K provides the freedom to focus on your activities without visual hindrances.
Those Not Ready for LASIK or Not Candidates
If you're considering vision correction but aren't ready for LASIK surgery, Ortho-K offers a non-invasive, reversible alternative. It’s ideal for individuals who prefer a safe and temporary solution without the long-term commitment of surgery.
Dry Eye Sufferers
For those who experience discomfort with traditional contact lenses due to dry eyes, Ortho-K is a great alternative. Since the lenses are worn only at night, your eyes can stay hydrated and comfortable during the day, free from the irritation that daytime lenses can sometimes cause.
