Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology is an innovative treatment that corrects near-sightedness, blurred vision, astigmatism, and other eye conditions. For patients who may not be willing to undergo an intensive surgical procedure, orthokeratology is a great alternative for Lasik surgery. The goal of Orthokeratology is the same, which is to eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses and improve your natural vision.

Orthokeratology works by re-shaping your eye while you sleep. You simply insert the lenses before going to bed and wake up to clearer and more focused vision.

Before your orthokeratology procedure, your doctor will perform a series of tests that will examine the health of your eye’s membrane. These tests examine the physical structure of the eye, including the skin and any unique characteristics that make up its shape. Similar to a tooth mold from a dentist, the shape of your eye will determine the prescription for your Ortho-K lenses. Patients who are new to the procedure will receive information on how to insert and remove their lenses, as well as how to properly care for them.
