What is Orthokeratology?

Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K or Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), is a non-surgical and reversible method for myopia control. This innovative treatment involves the use of specially designed contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, providing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Why Choose Orthokeratology for Myopia Control?

  1. Effective Myopia Management:

Ortho-K has been proven to be effective in slowing down the progression of myopia, particularly in children and adolescents.

  1. Glasses and Contact Lens Independence:

Enjoy clear vision without the hassle of glasses or daytime contact lenses. Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight, providing freedom during waking hours.

  1. Safe and Reversible:

Orthokeratology is a safe and reversible process. If you decide to discontinue treatment, your eyes will return to their original shape over time.

Who Can Benefit from Orthokeratology?

Orthokeratology is an excellent option for:

Children and Teens: Ortho-K can help manage myopia progression during critical growth stages.

Active Lifestyles: Ideal for individuals involved in sports or activities where glasses and traditional contact lenses may be cumbersome.
