The ability to see clearly during the day without glasses or contacts at no surgical risk is now a reality.
Ortho-K specialized rigid contact lenses gently reshape the front of the cornea while you sleep. The lenses are removed in the morning, eliminating near sightedness and astigmatism and retaining improved visual quality through out the day. Most of the vision improvements comes after the first night of wear and can remain stable all day after just two weeks of night wear. Ortho-K is an important part of our aggressive myopia containments program. Rigid contact lenses have been proven in numerous research studies to slow the progression of near sightedness in most individuals. By starting early when children first start showing a prescription we may be able to reduce much of the nearsightedness they may eventually encounter.
