Ortho-K

say goodbye to

glasses & daytime contacts

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, is a non-surgical vision correction method that uses specially designed, gas-permeable contact lenses to gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. These custom-fitted lenses gradually adjust the curvature of the eye, allowing you to wake up with clearer vision and go about your day without glasses or daytime contacts.

Ortho-k is effective for correcting low to moderate myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism, making it a great choice for those seeking freedom from traditional eyewear. It is especially helpful for children and young adults, as it can slow the progression of myopia. For adults, ortho-k provides a safe, reversible alternative to LASIK, particularly for people with active lifestyles or professions where glasses or contacts can be inconvenient.

With regular care and follow-up, ortho-k offers a comfortable, non-invasive way to enjoy clear vision every day.

How It Works

Orthokeratology lenses, often compared to retainers for the eyes, are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. Applied at bedtime, these specialty contact lenses gradually mold the eye’s surface so that, by morning, you can remove them and enjoy crisp, clear vision throughout the day without glasses or daytime contacts.

Ortho-k is a safe, effective, and fully reversible treatment. Unlike surgical procedures, it does not make permanent changes to the eye, giving you flexibility and peace of mind. Because the effects are temporary, the retainer lenses must be worn nightly to maintain optimal vision during the day. This makes ortho-k an excellent option for children, athletes, or anyone with an active lifestyle who wants freedom from traditional eyewear while still enjoying sharp, comfortable vision.

FAQs

Who is a Candidate for Ortho-K?

Ortho-k works for patients with myopia (near-sightedness) and/or low amounts of astigmatism.

A full examination and separate fitting evaluation will be required in order to determine if one is a good candidate for ortho-k.

Because ortho-k is completely reversible, one of its many advantages is that is can be performed on patients of all ages—even kids!

What are the Advantages of Ortho-K?

Ortho-k is a great option for patients who desire freedom from glasses and contact lenses during the day

This can include patients who work in dusty or dirty environments, or those who suffer from dry eyes or ocular allergies. Ortho-k is a nice alternative for these patients.

Ortho-k is also a good option for swimmers and other athletes who desire freedom from contact lenses and glasses.

What our Ortho-k patients are saying

Joelle
"I’ve worn glasses since I was 4 years old. It’s been nice not having to wear them during the day. I don’t have to worry not seeing well while swimming too."
Sophia
"I like that I don’t have to wear glasses to see clearly during the day, and I can easily read the board at school, even if the teacher writes in smaller print. Ortho-k has made my days more convenient because I don’t have to worry about cleaning my glasses all of the time. Sometimes glasses wouldn’t even work as well if my vision changed, which is not a problem now. It’s really easy to use—it only takes a couple minutes out of my day. It’s easy to learn how to use, and isn’t complicated to keep up. I would definitely recommend ortho-k to my friends, especially those who play sports and don’t want to wear glasses or my theater friends who don’t want to wear them on stage."
