Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment that eliminates the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. 

Orthokeratology improves vision by gently reshaping the front surface of the eye called the cornea WHILE SLEEPING using unique custom designed corneal retainers. 

The corneal retainers are inserted, similar to the technique used with a standard contact lens, but at bedtime, and then are removed the next morning.  As a result of the gentle molding effect to the top layer of the cornea, you will have clear, sharp, natural vision for your waking hours. 

This safe and effective non-surgical approach to correcting your vision is reversible and will only maintain the desired correction with continuous overnight wear of the corneal retainers.

Although similar in appearance and the technique used for insertion and removal from the eye; 

the Standard Contact Lens and the Orthokeratology Retainer have COMPLETELY different functions.
