What is Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) and How Does it Work?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical vision correction method designed to reshape the cornea overnight using specially designed contact lenses. This process temporarily corrects myopia (nearsightedness) and other refractive errors without the need for glasses or daily contact lenses. The Ortho-K lenses are worn while you sleep, gently reshaping the cornea to improve vision clarity throughout the day, offering a convenient and effective solution for many people, particularly those who are looking for a more flexible alternative to traditional vision correction methods.
Why Choose Ortho-K?
- Non-invasive method with no surgery required
- Corrects myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism
- Safe and FDA-approved treatment
- Provides freedom from glasses and daytime contact lenses
- Slows the progression of myopia in children and teenagers
How Long Does it Take for Ortho-K to Work?
The effects of Ortho-K can be seen after just one night of wearing the lenses. However, for optimal results, it may take several nights to achieve the full correction. Most individuals experience significant improvement in their vision within the first week, with continued benefits over time.
