At Eye Emporium, we’re always looking for innovative ways to help you see clearly. One of the cutting-edge services we offer at our Stratford practice is Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K. This non-surgical vision correction method is a game-changer for those seeking freedom from glasses and contact lenses during the day.
If you're curious about Ortho-K and how it can transform your life, read on to discover everything you need to know.
What is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology, often shortened to Ortho-K, is a unique treatment using specially designed contact lenses that gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. These lenses temporarily correct your vision, allowing you to see clearly throughout the day without needing glasses or traditional contact lenses.
Ortho-K is ideal for:
- Myopia (short-sightedness) correction upto –5.50Diopters.
- Reducing reliance on glasses or daytime lenses.
- People with active lifestyles or jobs where glasses are inconvenient.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
The process is simpler than you might think:
- Custom Lenses: Your optometrist will design Ortho-K lenses tailored to your unique eye shape.
- Night-time Wear: Wear the lenses overnight while you sleep.
- Daytime Freedom: Wake up, remove the lenses, and enjoy clear vision all day!
- The corneal reshaping effect typically lasts 24-48 hours, so consistent nightly use is essential for maintaining optimal results.
The Benefits of Ortho-K
Ortho-K offers several amazing benefits, including:
- Clear Vision Without Daytime Lenses: Enjoy hassle-free vision correction, perfect for sports, swimming, or just daily life.
- A Myopia Control Solution for Children: Studies show that Ortho-K can slow the progression of myopia in children, giving parents peace of mind.
- Non-Surgical and Reversible: Unlike LASIK, Ortho-K is non-permanent and can be discontinued if desired.
