Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Say goodbye to glasses and daytime contact lenses with Ortho-K, a revolutionary non-surgical solution for myopia correction and myopia control. At eye&I , we offer personalized Ortho-K treatment plans designed to reshape your vision overnight—so you can see clearly all day, without the need for corrective eyewear.

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a safe and FDA-approved method that uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. In the morning, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear, unaided vision throughout the day.

This innovative approach is ideal for individuals with:

• Myopia (nearsightedness)
• Mild astigmatism
• Active lifestyles
• Or those seeking non-surgical vision correction

How Does Ortho-K Work?

1. Customized Evaluation

We start with a comprehensive eye exam and corneal topography to map the shape of your eyes and create a personalized lens design that perfectly fits your visual needs.

2. Overnight Lens Wear

Wear your Ortho-K lenses while you sleep. As you rest, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye (the cornea), temporarily correcting your vision.

3. Daytime Freedom

When you wake up and remove the lenses, you'll enjoy crisp, clear vision—no glasses or daytime contacts needed.

4. Ongoing Follow-Up

Our optometrists monitor your progress with regular follow-up appointments to ensure comfort, effectiveness, and long-term eye health.

Proven Myopia Control for Children & Teens

Ortho-K has been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children, reducing the long-term risk of serious vision issues like glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.

Freedom from Glasses or Daytime Contacts

Perfect for students, athletes, and professionals who want clear vision without the hassle of eyewear during the day.

Safe & Reversible

Unlike laser surgery, Ortho-K is a non-invasive and reversibletreatment option—ideal for both kids and adults who want flexibility in their vision care.

Perfect for Active Lifestyles

No more glasses slipping during sports or irritation from daytime lenses. Ortho-K is an excellent solution for swimmers, runners, dancers, and more.

Ortho-K is a great fit for:

• Children with progressive myopia
• Adults seeking a non-surgical LASIK alternative
• Active individuals who want to eliminate daytime eyewear
• Patients with dry eyes who struggle with soft contact lenses
