Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology , Orthok , also known as Night Lenses.
Orthokeratology , Orthok , also known as Night Lenses. It has been approved by the FDA as a safe and reversible method of vision correction using specially designed rigid gas permeable contact lenses to gently shape the cornea, the front transparent part of the eye, to correct low-moderate levels of myopia and astigmatism.
The lenses are typically worn overnight during sleep and gently reduce the power of the cornea. When the lenses are removed in the morning, the cornea retains its reshaped form all day, allowing the wearer to see clearly without glasses or contact lenses during the day.
CLEAR VISION, ALL DAY-NO LENSES, NO LIMITS
Orthokeratology
Orthok is considered safe when properly prescribed, fitted, and monitored by an experienced eye care professional. The risk for serious complications is very low and it is similar to wearing soft monthly contact lenses on a daily basis.
Modern Orthok lenses are made from highly oxygen-permeable materials, reducing the risk of corneal hypoxia, which can happen if the cornea is deprived of oxygen for extended periods.
Orthok is not suitable for everyone. Proper screening of candidates, especially those with corneal diseases or dry eye issues, ensures safety and efficacy.
Sustainability for Orthok

Myopia Control with Orthokeratology

Apart from this, orthok offers freedom from glasses or daytime contact lenses so they can enjoy their daily activites. Children feel more confident without glasses while maintaining safety and comfort.
