Myopia control/ Ortho-K Contact lenses

Introduction

Orthokeratology lenses, also known as Ortho-K lenses, are specialized contact lenses designed to reshape the cornea while you sleep. These lenses are worn overnight, gently flattening the cornea to correct vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness) and astigmatism. In the morning, the lenses are removed, and the reshaping effect allows patients to enjoy clear, glasses-free vision throughout the day.

Benefits

Orthokeratology lenses offer numerous advantages that make them an attractive option for many patients:

Ortho-K lenses provide a non-invasive alternative to LASIK or other refractive surgeries, offering significant vision correction without the risks associated with surgery.

It gives you the ability to achieve clear vision throughout the day without wearing glasses or contact lenses.

It can slow down the progression of myopia, reducing the risk of developing high myopia and complications like retinal detachment later in life.

Ortho-K lenses are worn only at night, allowing patients to avoid the potential discomfort of wearing contact lenses during the day.

The effects of Ortho-K lenses are reversible. If a patient stops wearing the lenses, the cornea will gradually return to its original shape.
