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.
