Ortho-K

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) is the fitting of specially designed gas permeable contact lens for overnight wear. While you are asleep, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye (cornea) so you can see clearly the following day after you remove the lenses when you wake up. Only highly “breathable” GP lenses that have been approved for overnight wear is use for orthokeratology.

Ortho-k (2)Ortho-k lenses are prescribed for two purposes:

  • To correct refractive errors
  • To slow the progression of childhood myopia

  • The treatment is reversible is the patient stops wearing Ortho-K lenses.
