Orthokeratology Contact Lenses: The Game-Changing Vision Correction Solution
What are Orthokeratology Contact Lenses?
Orthokeratology, also referred to as Ortho-K, is an innovation in non-surgical vision correction. It is the application of specifically engineered Orthokeratology Contact Lenses that reshape your cornea softly at night, allowing you to have clear vision during the daytime without glasses or day contact lenses.
How do Orthokeratology Contact Lenses work?
These gas-permeable lenses are individually designed with advanced corneal topography mapping. Worn at night, they slowly mold the cornea, correcting nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The correction lasts for 24-48 hours, enabling users to have clear vision during the day without the use of corrective eyewear.
Who Can Benefit from Orthokeratology Contact Lenses?
Ortho-K lenses are best suited for:
Children and Teenagers with Myopia – Ortho-K retards the development of myopia, preventing potential future eye problems.
Adults Wanting Glasses-Free Vision – Ideal for individuals with busy lifestyles, like sports people and business professionals who work in demanding environments.
People Not Qualified for LASIK – An excellent option for those with thin corneas or dry eyes and are unable to have refractive surgery.
Mild to Moderate Myopia and Astigmatism Patients – Suitable for prescriptions of up to -6.00 diopters for myopia and up to -1.75 diopters for astigmatism.
Benefits of Orthokeratology Contact Lenses
Non-Surgical & Reversible – Ortho-K is a reversible and non-surgical vision correction treatment, unlike LASIK.
Daytime Freedom from Glasses & Contacts – No corrective eyewear need be worn during the day.
Myopia Control in Children – Slows the development of nearsightedness, reducing risks of future retinal problems.
Comfort & Convenience – Eradicates daytime lens irritation, particularly for individuals who spend extended periods on computer screens.
FDA-Approved & Safe – Ortho-K lenses are clinically proven and approved for overnight wear.
