At LivingHope Vision Clinic, we believe in providing innovative and personalized solutions for your eye care needs. One such revolutionary treatment we’re proud to offer is Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K. If you’re looking for clear vision without the hassle of daytime glasses or contact lenses, Ortho-K might be the perfect solution for you!
Understanding Ortho-K
Orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction method using specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses. These lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea—the clear front surface of your eye. By morning, your cornea is temporarily reshaped, allowing you to see clearly throughout the day without the need for glasses or contacts.
Ortho-K is FDA-approved and is a safe, effective alternative for those who are not ready for or prefer to avoid refractive surgery like LASIK.
Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?
Ortho-K is ideal for:
Children and Teens: It’s an excellent option for slowing down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness). Early intervention can reduce the risk of developing high myopia and associated ocular complications later in life.
Active Lifestyles: Athletes, swimmers, and individuals involved in sports or outdoor activities enjoy the freedom from glasses and contacts during the day.
Adults Seeking Convenience: Whether you work long hours or simply dislike wearing lenses, Ortho-K can provide the clarity you need.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
At LivingHope Vision Clinic, we start with a comprehensive binocular vision assessment with complete ocular health examination in addition to cornea mapping to evaluate your overall health and determine if Ortho-K is right for you.
Step 2: Custom Lens Fitting
Using advanced corneal mapping technology, we design lenses tailored specifically to your eyes. This ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Step 3: Overnight Wear
You’ll wear your Ortho-K lenses while sleeping. The lenses gently reshape your cornea, correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Step 4: Daytime Freedom
When you wake up and remove the lenses, you’ll enjoy clear, unaided vision that lasts throughout the day.
