Orthokeratology in Boca Raton
Correct your vision while you sleep!
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a non-surgical solution that gently reshapes your corneas overnight for clear, glasses-free eyesight during the day.
Who is Ortho-K For?
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is an overnight lens treatment that gently reshapes the cornea so you can see clearly during the day without glasses or contacts. It’s best suited for people with myopia (nearsightedness), mild astigmatism, and certain cases of low hyperopia (farsightedness). It’s especially beneficial for kids and teens to help slow myopia progression, as well as adults who want a non-surgical alternative to daytime lenses or LASIK.
What Treatment Involves:
Ortho-K treatment begins with detailed measurements of your eyes to design custom lenses that gently reshape the cornea overnight. You’ll wear the ortho-k lenses while you sleep and remove them in the morning, allowing you to see clearly throughout the day. We guide you through proper use and monitor your progress with follow-up visits to ensure safe, comfortable, and effective results.
