Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses

at Eyeris Optometrist

It all happens while you sleep…

Welcome to Eyeris Optometrist, where we offer advanced solutions for vision correction through Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses. Our cutting-edge Ortho-K treatments are designed to provide both effective vision correction and myopia control, giving you clearer vision and greater freedom from glasses and daytime contact lenses.

What Are Ortho-K Lenses?

Ortho-K lenses are specially designed rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses that are worn overnight to reshape the cornea. This non-surgical procedure gently corrects the curvature of the cornea while you sleep, allowing you to enjoy clear, natural vision during the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.

Benefits of Ortho-K Lenses

  • Daytime Vision Freedom: By reshaping the cornea overnight, Ortho-K lenses provide clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or traditional contact lenses.

  • Non-Surgical Solution: Ortho-K offers an effective alternative to refractive surgery, providing vision correction without the need for invasive procedures.

  • Myopia Control: Ortho-K lenses are particularly effective in slowing the progression of near-sightedness (myopia), especially in children and adolescents.

Ortho-K for Normal Vision Correction

Ortho-K lenses can be used to correct various vision issues, including:

  • Myopia (Near-sightedness): Ortho-K lenses effectively reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day by reshaping the cornea to improve distance vision.

  • Hyperopia (Farsightedness): They can also be customised to correct mild hyperopia, allowing for clear vision without the need for corrective eyewear.

  • Astigmatism: Ortho-K lenses can correct mild to moderate astigmatism by improving the shape of the cornea and reducing visual distortion.

Ortho-K for Myopia Control

Ortho-K lenses are a proven method for managing the progression of myopia in children and teenagers. The key benefits include:

  • Slowing Myopia Progression: Research shows that Ortho-K lenses can significantly slow the progression of near-sightedness (myopia), helping to reduce the risk of severe myopia later in life.

  • Enhanced Comfort: Since Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight, there’s no need for daily lens insertion or removal, making them a convenient option for busy lifestyles.

  • Improved Quality of Life: By reducing the dependency on glasses and daytime contact lenses, Ortho-K lenses enhance overall quality of life and visual freedom.
