Ortho-K | Elite Vision Therapy Centre

Reducing Your Dependence on Glasses

Have you ever wanted to switch up your look from glasses, but your unique visual needs prevent you from doing so? Well, orthokeratology may be for you.

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, is a process that involves wearing rigid gas permeable contact lenses overnight while you sleep to gently change the shape of your cornea and help reduce your reliance on prescription lenses.

Correcting Your Vision Without Surgery

Ortho-k is designed to reduce your dependence on contact lenses and glasses. Ortho-k lenses are inserted at night and removed in the morning, allowing you to see clearly throughout the day. Ortho-k lenses are convenient because you can play sports and work out without having to wear your glasses or other contact lenses.

The first step in the ortho-k process is to see your eye doctor, who will mapp and measure the surface of your cornea using a corneal topographer to design a customized lens specifically for your eye.

For the best results, it’s essential to wear your ortho-k lenses every night, or your prescription will begin to regress back to its previous state.

Is Everyone a Candidate for Ortho-K?

Ortho-k is a great option for most people with mild to moderate myopia or hyperopia. We suggest you stop wearing the lenses and contact us if any vision complications arise.

Ortho-k is an excellent option for teens and young adults who are seeking an alternative to glasses but cannot get laser vision correction. Adults who are not candidates for laser eye surgery can also opt for ortho-k lenses.
