Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Wake Up to Clear Vision Without Glasses
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical vision correction treatment using specially designed contact lenses worn overnight. While you sleep, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye, allowing you to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Ortho-K is also one of the most effective options for managing myopia (short-sightedness) progression in children and teenagers, helping to reduce the risk of worsening vision over time.
