Want to be free from glasses but not ready for a surgical procedure like LASIK? Or is your child’s nearsightedness getting worse every year? At Mayapada Eye Centre, we offer an innovative solution called Orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K.
This method has become a rising trend in recent years due to its effectiveness in correcting vision in a natural, non-invasive way.
What Is Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)?
Orthokeratology is a vision therapy that uses specially designed rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. Unlike regular contact lenses, Ortho-K lenses are worn only during sleep.
While you sleep, the lenses gently reshape the surface of your cornea. When you wake up and remove them in the morning, your cornea has been temporarily reshaped—allowing you to see clearly throughout the day without glasses or contact lenses.
Benefits of Ortho-K at Mayapada Eye Centre
Why are more patients choosing Ortho-K as an alternative to LASIK?
1. Non-Surgical
No lasers, no incisions, and no surgical recovery time.
2. Slows Myopia Progression (Myopia Control)
Highly effective for children and teenagers whose nearsightedness tends to worsen each year.
3. Reversible Results
If you stop wearing the lenses, your cornea gradually returns to its original shape—offering flexibility for those not ready for permanent procedures.
4. Freedom for Active Lifestyles
Ideal for athletes, swimmers, or individuals working in dusty environments where glasses or regular contact lenses can be inconvenient.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Ortho-K?
Ortho-K therapy at Mayapada Eye Centre is recommended for:
- Children and teenagers under 18 (not yet eligible for LASIK)
