Ortho-K, short for Orthokeratology, is a revolutionary vision correction method that frees you from glasses or daytime contact lenses without surgery. It involves wearing specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses overnight, gently reshaping the cornea.
In the morning, when users remove the lenses, they experience clear vision throughout the day. This reversible process can be an excellent option for people with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and even presbyopia.
Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?
Ortho-K is particularly beneficial for:
- Individuals with Myopia: This is especially effective in slowing down myopia progression in children and teenagers.
- Active Lifestyle Enthusiasts: Those participating in sports or outdoor activities find glasses or contacts cumbersome.
- Candidates Not Suitable for Laser Surgery: Ortho-K may be a suitable alternative for people with thin corneas or dry eyes who are not eligible for LASIK or other refractive surgeries.
- Anyone Seeking Freedom from Daytime Glasses or Contacts: Those looking to liberate themselves from the daily use of corrective eyewear.
