ORTHO-K for adults
See Clearly All Day. Without Touching Your Eyes.
If you've been thinking about LASIK but aren't ready for surgery, or if daytime contact lenses have become uncomfortable, Ortho-K offers a smarter path forward. You wear custom lenses overnight, remove them in the morning, and enjoy clear, natural vision for the rest of your day. No surgery. No recovery. No compromise.
ORTHO-K FOR children
More Than Vision Correction. It's Protection.
For children with myopia, Ortho-K does more than help them see clearly in the classroom. These custom overnight lenses are clinically proven to slow the progression of nearsightedness during the years it matters most. We're not just correcting your child's vision today. We're working to protect it for life.
ORTHO-K FOR ADULTS
FAQ
Most adults with mild to moderate myopia, with or without mild astigmatism, are good candidates. A comprehensive exam and corneal mapping during your consultation will confirm whether Ortho-K is right for you.
Most patients notice significant improvement within the first few days of consistent wear. Optimal results typically develop over two to four weeks as the cornea fully adjusts.
No. The effect is temporary and reversible. If you stop wearing the lenses, your cornea gradually returns to its original shape and your prescription returns. This makes it a flexible, low-commitment option.
Yes. Ortho-K is actually a popular choice for patients with dry eye, since the lenses are worn only during sleep and removed before your eyes are exposed to daytime conditions that trigger dryness.
LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea through surgery. Ortho-K achieves a similar correction temporarily, without any incisions, recovery time, or permanent changes to your eye structure.
We typically schedule follow-ups at one week, one month, and every six months thereafter to monitor your corneal health and fine-tune your lens fit as needed.
ORTHO-K FOR children
FAQ
Ortho-K is generally recommended for children ages 6 and up, though candidacy depends on the individual child's prescription, eye health, and maturity to handle the lenses responsibly. We assess each child individually.
The specialized lens design creates a peripheral defocus effect on the retina, which research shows can significantly reduce the rate of axial elongation, the primary mechanism behind worsening myopia.
Yes. Ortho-K lenses are FDA-cleared and have been used safely in pediatric patients for decades. We use custom-fitted lenses and monitor your child's corneal health at every follow-up visit.
Replacement lenses can be ordered. We keep your child's fitting records on file so replacements are quick and straightforward.
Most children achieve clear enough daytime vision to go glasses-free during the day. Some children with higher prescriptions may need a light backup pair for certain situations early in treatment.
We track axial length measurements over time to monitor whether myopia progression has slowed. You'll be able to see the data at each follow-up visit so you always know exactly how your child's eyes are responding.
