Ortho-K: Clear Vision Without Daytime Contacts or Glasses

Orthokeratology, often called Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction option that uses specially designed contact lenses worn while you sleep. These lenses gently reshape the surface of the cornea overnight so you can wake up with clearer vision and go through much of the day without relying on glasses or traditional contact lenses. At Earth Vision Eye Care, Ortho-K treatment is customized to your eyes and vision needs.

Ortho-K is commonly used for people with nearsightedness and can be especially appealing for active patients who find glasses or daytime contacts inconvenient. It may also be considered for children and teens as part of a myopia-management plan, since slowing the progression of nearsightedness can be important for long-term eye health. A comprehensive eye exam helps determine whether Ortho-K is a good fit and allows your eye doctor to evaluate your prescription, corneal shape, and overall eye health before treatment begins.

Because Ortho-K lenses are highly customized, proper fitting and regular follow-up care are essential for comfort, safety, and the best possible results. If you are interested in reducing your dependence on glasses or daytime contacts, Earth Vision Eye Care can help you explore whether Ortho-K is right for you.
