Ortho-K

What is Ortho-K?

Ortho-K is a vision correction therapy that provides clear, comfortable vision without the need to wear contact lenses during the day.

Ortho-K is ideal for low-mid short-sighted people who:

• Want clear natural vision all day – every day
• Have considered refractive surgery because of the freedom it provides, but are worried about the risks
• Find soft contact lenses do not fulfill the comfort demands their lifestyle places on their eyes
• Are involved in recreational and sports activities where periods without wearing contact lenses is ideal

So how is this possible?

Very simply, Ortho-K is a specially designed contact lens that reverses the power of the cornea, at the front of the eye during overnight wear. Once the full effect has taken place, the eye is effectively ‘normal’ and can see clearly during the day.

With Ortho-K you will benefit from:

• Freedom from contact lenses and glasses during the day
• Very easy adaptation, only overnight lens wear required
• A comfortable, semi-permanent alternative for the correction of short sightedness
• A safe and reversible vision correction therapy without surgery
