Ortho-k for overnight treatment of Myopia

Ortho-K Contact Lenses

Ortho-K (orthokeratology) contact lenses are specially designed overnight lenses that gently reshape the front of your eye while you sleep, allowing you to wake up with clear vision – without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

About Ortho-k

What are Ortho-k contact lenses?

Ortho-K (orthokeratology) contact lenses are specially designed lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the front surface of your eye while you sleep. By morning, you can enjoy clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. This non-surgical and reversible treatment is a convenient solution for managing short-sightedness (myopia).

What are Ortho-k contact lenses used for?

Ortho-K lenses are primarily used to correct short-sightedness (myopia), allowing you to see clearly during the day without corrective eyewear. They are also widely used as a myopia management solution, helping to slow the progression of short-sightedness—particularly in children.

Who are Ortho-k contact lenses suitable for?

Ortho-K is suitable for both children and adults with myopia. It is especially beneficial for:

Children with progressing short-sightedness
People with active lifestyles or those who play sports
Individuals who prefer not to wear glasses or daytime contact lenses
Those who are not suitable for laser eye surgery

A comprehensive eye assessment is required to determine if Ortho-K is right for you.

How do Ortho-k contact lenses work?

Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the cornea overnight while you sleep. This temporary reshaping changes how light enters your eye, allowing it to focus correctly on the retina. When you remove the lenses in the morning, you can see clearly throughout the day without needing additional correction.

Is Ortho-K safe?

Ortho-K is a safe and well-established treatment when prescribed and monitored by an experienced optometrist. The lenses are custom-fitted to your eyes and designed for overnight wear. Regular follow-up appointments ensure your eyes remain healthy and your lenses continue to perform effectively.

What is the process?

The Ortho-K process begins with a comprehensive eye exam and detailed measurements of your eyes, including corneal topography. Custom lenses are then designed specifically for you, followed by a fitting appointment and a short adaptation period. Ongoing reviews are important to ensure optimal results and long-term eye health.

Results and expectations

Most patients begin to notice clearer vision within a few days, with full results typically achieved within one to two weeks. To maintain clear vision, lenses need to be worn overnight on a regular basis.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend HBP enough. I got sick of my vision always feeling not quite right with glasses prescribed by major optometrists some years ago, so switched to HBP at the recommendation of my parents, who had been long time customers. The difference in the quality of the lenses they use is very noticeable to me. I've now been coming here exclusively for a long time and am always very well looked after. Amy Chan is a wonderful optometrist. Very knowledgeable, caring, great at explaining the what's going on when things go wrong with my eyes - and generally really looks after you. Great sense of humour too! I would not go anywhere else now.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was absolutely blown away with this service provider, their staff really know what they are doing, and they do it extremely well. the examination was thorough the result was a very clear view, of which I have never quite had before.. Highly, highly recommend seeing them for your next eye examination. Or if you feel like a really funky, fun pair of glasses

Dina A and the team always go above and beyond, ordering in frames to suit in advance so that there are lots to choose from on the day. Having been a client for many years you won’t find me going anywhere else!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My examination was quite thorough, issues I already had were appropriately reviewed and explained very well. I felt very confident that my eye health is in very competent hands. Whilst my eyesight has changed a little bit since my last test, we happily concurred that it was not enough to warrant changing my glasses. There was no sales push.
