ORTHO-K NIGHT LENSES

CORRECT YOUR VISION WHILE YOU SLEEP

With OrthoK lenses, you can wake up to clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts. These lenses work their magic overnight, reshaping your cornea so you can see clearly during the day.

​

Orthokeratology, commonly known as OrthoK, is a non-surgical treatment that uses specially designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea and temporarily correct myopia (short-sightedness). This treatment has several benefits, including improved vision without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses, reduced progression of myopia, and increased self-esteem and confidence in children.

 

Additionally, OrthoK lenses are safe and easy to use, making them a popular choice for parents looking for an effective and convenient solution for their child's vision correction needs.

What Is OrthoK?

OrthoK works by using specially designed rigid contact lenses to reshape the cornea. These lenses are worn overnight, and as they apply gentle pressure to the cornea, they temporarily change its shape. This change in shape allows light to focus correctly on the retina, resulting in clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

​​

The lenses are custom-made for each patient, and the degree of correction can be adjusted as needed. OrthoK is a safe and effective option for those who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.

How Does OrthoK Work?

How Do You Use OrthoK Lenses?

You only need to insert the lenses 5 - 10 minutes before you sleep. The lenses will only work when your eyes are closed and you are asleep, so it is important to get a recommended 7 hours minimum of sleep each night to maintain a suitable length of wear and treatment. 

​

The first thing you will do when you wake up is remove the lenses. They will be cleaned in the morning so that they are ready to insert again when you plan to sleep later that night.

You can now enjoy your day glasses and soft contact lens free!
