Orthokeratology is an alternative to refractive surgery, glasses and daily contact lenses. Put contact lenses on before going to bed, take them off in the morning, and have clear vision for the rest of the day! Orthokeratology (or Ortho-K) temporarily improves vision by reshaping the cornea with the use of oxygen permeable contact lenses. Similar to a dental retainer used by Orthodontists, a comfortable retainer (contact lenses) are worn at night while sleeping. They are removed upon waking to provide clear vision without the use of eyeglasses or contact lenses. It is a safe, non-surgical, reversible, modifiable alternative to laser surgery and does not require medications. Great for athletes, dry eyed patients associated with contact lens wear, those who work in dusty, dirty environments and those ineligible for refractive surgery.
