What is Ortho-K?
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a non-surgical method to correct nearsightedness (myopia) using specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses worn only at night. While sleeping, the lenses gently reshape the cornea so that light enters the eye correctly—giving you clear vision throughout the day without glasses or contacts.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
-
The patient wears Ortho-K lenses while sleeping.
-
Overnight, the lenses temporarily flatten the central cornea.
-
When removed in the morning, the eyes retain the reshaped form, allowing sharp vision all day.
Since the effect is temporary, the lenses need to be worn nightly to maintain results.
