What is Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)?
Say goodbye to glasses and daytime contact lenses with Ortho-K, a revolutionary non-surgical solution for myopia correction and myopia control. At eye&I , we offer personalized Ortho-K treatment plans designed to reshape your vision overnight—so you can see clearly all day, without the need for corrective eyewear.
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a safe and FDA-approved method that uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. In the morning, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear, unaided vision throughout the day.
This innovative approach is ideal for individuals with:
● Myopia (nearsightedness)
● Mild astigmatism
● Active lifestyles
● Or those seeking non-surgical vision correction
How Does Ortho-K Work?
1. Customized Evaluation
We start with a comprehensive eye exam and corneal topography to map the shape of your eyes and create a personalized lens design that perfectly fits your visual needs.
2. Overnight Lens Wear
Wear your Ortho-K lenses while you sleep. As you rest, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye (the cornea), temporarily correcting your vision.
3. Daytime Freedom
When you wake up and remove the lenses, you'll enjoy crisp, clear vision—no glasses or daytime contacts needed.
4. Ongoing Follow-Up
Our optometrists monitor your progress with regular follow-up appointments to ensure comfort, effectiveness, and long-term eye health.
