What is Orthokeratology?

How Orthokeratology Reshapes Your Vision

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical vision correction method that uses specially designed contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) while you sleep. These lenses, called “ortho-K lenses,” are worn overnight and removed in the morning, providing clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or conventional contact lenses.

Ortho-K lenses have a unique design that gently applies pressure to the cornea, gradually reshaping its curve. This change in corneal shape alters how light enters the eye, improving vision clarity. The effect typically lasts for 12 to 24 hours after the lenses are removed.

Orthokeratology is a safe and effective option for individuals with myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism (blurred vision due to an uneven cornea). It can also potentially slow the progression of myopia in children.
