Ortho-K may be an option for:
Who prefer not to rely on daytime glasses or contact lenses during work, sports, or daily activities.
Especially those experiencing myopia (nearsightedness) that is progressing. Ortho-K is one of several approaches used in myopia management programs.
Ortho-K lenses are inserted before bedtime and worn overnight. While you sleep, the lenses gently reshape the cornea’s surface. In the morning, the lenses are removed, and the temporary reshaping can provide clearer daytime vision.
The effect is maintained only with consistent nightly wear, and the cornea returns to its natural shape if lens wear is discontinued.
People choose Ortho-K for a variety of reasons, including:
Daytime freedom from glasses and contact lenses
A non-surgical, reversible option
Convenience for sports, work environments, or dry-eye-prone daytime lens wearers
A role in slowing myopia progression in many children, when used as part of a broader myopia management plan
We assess each patient individually to determine whether Ortho-K may be appropriate for their vision needs.
If you’re exploring alternatives to glasses or daytime contact lenses, our team can help you understand whether Ortho-K is a good fit for you or your child.
