Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) – Clear Vision Without Glasses During the Day
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical vision correction treatment using specially designed contact lenses worn overnight. While you sleep, the lenses gently reshape the surface of your eye so you can wake up with clear vision — no glasses or daytime contact lenses required.
This treatment is suitable for both children and adults and is widely used for vision freedom and myopia (short-sightedness) control.
Benefits of Ortho-K
Orthokeratology offers a range of advantages for both adults and children:
- Clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts
- Non-surgical and fully reversible
- Ideal for active lifestyles and sports
- Can help slow the progression of myopia in children
- Suitable for patients who cannot tolerate daytime contact lenses
Myopia control for children
One of the most important applications of Ortho-K is managing childhood myopia (short-sightedness).
Research shows that specially designed Ortho-K lenses can help slow the progression of myopia, potentially reducing long-term risks associated with high levels of short-sightedness.
We carefully monitor children through regular follow-ups to ensure safe, effective treatment outcomes.
Is Ortho-K right for you or your child?
Ortho-K may be an excellent option if you:
- Want freedom from glasses or daytime contact lenses
- Struggle with dry eyes or discomfort from soft lenses
- Play sport or lead an active lifestyle
- Have a child whose short-sightedness is progressing
- Are looking for a non-surgical vision correction option
Many families choose Ortho-K because it offers both visual freedom and a proactive approach to managing myopia in children.
How Orthokeratology works
Ortho-K lenses are custom-designed to gently and temporarily reshape the cornea overnight.
Step 1: Comprehensive eye assessment
We perform detailed eye health checks and corneal mapping to determine suitability and design your lenses.
Step 2: Custom lens fitting
Specially designed lenses are created specifically for your eyes to ensure comfort, safety, and effective vision correction.
Step 3: Overnight wear
You wear the lenses while sleeping. As you rest, your vision is gently reshaped.
Step 4: Clear vision during the day
When you remove your lenses in the morning, you can enjoy clear vision throughout the day without glasses or contacts.
