Vision Correction Without Daytime Glasses or Lenses

"Can my child see clearly without glasses or daytime contact lenses?" The answer is yes, with Ortho-K lenses. These specially designed overnight lenses gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, providing clear vision throughout the day while slowing myopia progression.



Why Ortho-K Lenses Matter

Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) lenses offer a spectacles-free solution for myopia control, perfect for children who lead active lives and want freedom from glasses.


Key Benefits of Ortho-K Lenses:

  1. Clear Vision Without Daytime Lenses: Enjoy sharp, glasses-free vision all day long.

  2. Proven Myopia Control: Studies show Ortho-K can slow myopia progression by up to 50%.

  3. Safe and Non-Surgical: FDA-approved and customized for each child’s eyes.

  4. Confidence and Convenience: Ideal for sports, school, and daily activities.



The Problem: Why Traditional Solutions Fall Short

  1. Daytime Glasses and Lenses: These correct vision but don't slow myopia progression.

  2. Uncontrolled Myopia: Without intervention, nearsightedness can worsen rapidly, increasing long-term eye health risks.

  3. Lifestyle Limitations: Glasses and daytime lenses can get in the way of sports and outdoor play.


Why It Matters: Ortho-K lenses provide both clear vision and proactive myopia control, offering freedom and protection.



The Solution: How Ortho-K Lenses Work

Ortho-K lenses gently reshape the cornea overnight, temporarily correcting myopia for clear daytime vision.


  1. Overnight Corneal Reshaping:

    • Worn while sleeping, the lenses flatten the cornea to refocus light properly on the retina.

  2. Daytime Freedom:

    • After lens removal in the morning, your child enjoys clear vision without glasses or contacts.

  3. Myopia Progression Control:

    • By controlling peripheral defocus, Ortho-K helps slow down eye elongation, the root cause of myopia progression.

  4. Customized Fit:

    • Each pair is tailored to your child’s unique eye shape for maximum comfort and effectiveness.


Tip: Ortho-K works best when combined with healthy lifestyle habits like outdoor play and limited screen time. This can also be combined with other therapies such as atropine eye drops!



What the Research Says

Clinical studies reveal that children using Ortho-K lenses experience up to 50% slower myopia progression compared to those using traditional lenses or glasses. The earlier the intervention, the better the results.



Take Action: Experience the Freedom of Ortho-K

Imagine your child waking up to with clear vision every morning without the need for daytime glasses. Ortho-K lenses make it possible while protecting long-term eye health.
