Ortho-K Lens

What is Ortho-K Lens?

Despite the fact that eyeglasses and standard contact lenses have been shown to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and other visual issues. Some people may always prefer the flexibility and comfort of not wearing corrective glasses during their everyday activities. While many people are ready to pursue long-term remedies such as laser surgery, others want a less intrusive, more reversible approach.

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, is the temporary reshaping of the cornea with specifically designed and fitted contact lenses to improve eyesight. It's similar to orthodontics for your eyes, and the procedure is frequently likened to dental braces. The majority of ortho-k lenses are used at night to reshape the front surface of the eye while you sleep. Vision improvements are reversible, but they can be sustained if the lenses are used as prescribed.

Ortho-K lenses (orthokeratology lenses) are gas-permeable lenses that are used to reshape the cornea. The patient wears the lenses overnight, and when they remove them in the morning, they will have good vision for the rest of the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. Ortho-K lenses can treat a wide range of vision problems, including astigmatism, myopia (nearsightedness), and hyperopia (farsightedness).
