Precision Corneal Reshaping
Orthokeratology involves the use of specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses. These lenses are worn only during sleep, gently and temporarily reshaping the surface of the eye (cornea).
Upon waking, the lenses are removed, leaving the child with corrected vision that lasts throughout the day without the need for supplementary glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Clinically proven myopia control method
Why Parents Consider Ortho-K
A clinical solution for long-term vision health and daily convenience.
Degree Increasing
Ongoing clinical studies suggest that Ortho-K can significantly slow the elongation of the eye, which is the primary cause of myopia progression in children.
Looking for Non-Surgical
Ortho-K provides a reversible alternative to refractive surgery, which is typically not an option for patients until they reach adulthood.
Inconvenient
Eliminates the risk of broken frames, lost contact lenses during school, or the discomfort of glasses during vigorous physical activity.
Daytime Freedom
Children enjoy 20/20 vision naturally throughout their school day, enhancing their confidence and participation in classroom activities.
