Orthokeratology
Do you wear glasses or contact lenses for nearsightedness or astigmatism? If you do, imagine being able to golf, dive into a pool, swim, sky dive, play tennis, skateboard, play basketball or baseball, bike, jog or just have a relaxing day working in the garden without the hassle of wearing glasses or the worry of losing a contact lens. Imagine no longer. OrthoK may offer you that very opportunity.
OrthoK (short for orthokeratology) is a nonsurgical procedure using specially designed contact lenses to gently reshape the curvature of the eye to improve vision. It works each night while you sleep.
Thanks to recent breakthroughs in science and technology, OrthoK's many advantages are now more widely available to those who wish to improve their vision. By correcting vision while a patient sleeps, OrthoK vision improvement is a convenient and comfortable way to improve natural vision without surgery. It offers many compelling advantages over traditional eye care alternatives. Here are just a few:
* It's easy.
* It's available for children with myopia.
* Less risk.
* It's well tested.
* Lower cost.
* Greater freedom.
* Better vision overnight.
* It's available for children with myopia.
* Less risk.
* It's well tested.
* Lower cost.
* Greater freedom.
* Better vision overnight.
It's easy.
With OrthoK vision improvement you can literally sleep your way to better vision. Patients are fitted with specially designed contact lenses that are worn at night while they sleep. They put them on at night and take them off in the morning. Children do it routinely. It's that easy.

It's available for children with myopia.
The OrthoK procedure is the best procedure available that can control myopia in children. Unlike glasses or contact lenses, OrthoK slows down or in most situations actually stops the progression of nearsightedness. Lasik is not used on children.

Less risk.
Unlike Lasik, the laser eye surgery procedure, OrthoK involves no surgery. It is non-invasive. Unlike Lasik, which is irreversible, OrthoK is fully reversible. If a patient decides to withdraw from the treatment program, for whatever reason, the procedure is reversible. The patient can return to wearing glasses or contact lenses just as they did prior to enrolling in OrthoK.
