What Is Ortho-K
Orthokeratology or Ortho-K is an FDA approved treatment that gently reshapes the cornea using specially designed lenses worn overnight while sleeping. The next morning you wake up with close to or exactly 20/20 vision.
- Ortho-k lenses are commonly prescribed to slow the progression of childhood myopia.
- Ortho-K lenses are also called “corneal reshaping lenses” or “overnight contact lenses to correct or control myopia.”
- Ortho-K enables patients to be able to see clearly without the need to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses during the day.
- Ortho-K lenses are worn most nights, although some people can obtain clear vision even without wearing the lenses every night.
