Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a safe, non-surgical, and reversible way to correct vision for both children and adults. Specially designed lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep.
In the morning, you simply remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision throughout the day, without glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Ortho-K is commonly used to correct short-sightedness (myopia) and mild astigmatism. In children, it may also help slow myopia progression.
Wear your Ortho-K lenses before bed
Sleep as usual while the lenses work overnight
Remove the lenses in the morning
Enjoy clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts
The treatment is fully reversible. If lens wear stops, the eyes gradually return to their original shape.
Wake up with clear vision and enjoy your daily activities without relying on glasses or soft contact lenses.
Because the lenses are only worn during sleep, many patients experience less daytime dryness and irritation compared with regular contact lenses.
Ortho-K offers a temporary vision correction option without the need for laser eye surgery.
Ideal for sports, outdoor activities, work, and busy routines where glasses or daytime contacts may be inconvenient.
Research shows Ortho-K may help slow the progression of short-sightedness in children, supporting long-term eye health.
Ortho-K lenses are individually designed to suit your eyes and prescription requirements.
Ortho-K may be suitable for:
Children with progressing myopia
Adults wanting freedom from glasses or daytime contacts
Active lifestyles and sports
Patients unsuitable for laser eye surgery
