Precision Corneal Reshaping
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight. While you sleep, these lenses gently and temporarily reshape the surface of the cornea to correct myopia.
Upon removal in the morning, clear vision is typically achieved throughout the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Ortho-K is also widely used as a clinical approach to help manage myopia progression in children.
