Understanding Abiliti Overnight

About Abiliti Overnight

ACUVUE Abiliti Overnight by Johnson & Johnson Vision (Menicon technology) received FDA approval (PMA) on May 12, 2021 — the first orthokeratology lens specifically approved for the management of myopia. Worn overnight, these custom gas-permeable lenses reshape the cornea for clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. Clinical data shows approximately 0.28mm less axial elongation over 2 years compared to controls. A specialized astigmatism design (approved 2022) extends candidacy to children with both myopia and astigmatism.

Benefits of Abiliti Overnight Treatment

  • Glasses-free and contact-free daytime vision
  • Astigmatism design available (2022) for combined myopia + astigmatism
  • J&J Vision quality and manufacturing standards
  • Reversible — cornea returns to original shape if discontinued

Common Questions About Abiliti Overnight

Abiliti Overnight is priced within the same range as our ortho-k program ($2,000-$4,500) depending on prescription complexity. The cost typically includes custom lenses, fitting, and first-year follow-up visits.
Both are FDA-approved ortho-k lenses worn overnight. The key difference: Abiliti is specifically FDA-approved for the management of myopia (May 2021), while Paragon CRT is approved for temporary myopia correction (myopia management use is off-label). Abiliti also has a specialized astigmatism design. We fit both and recommend based on your child's specific needs.
Abiliti is designed for children old enough to handle overnight lens wear and follow a hygiene routine, typically ages 8 and up. We assess each child individually for maturity and motivation.
Yes. A specialized astigmatism design was FDA-approved in 2022, making Abiliti an option for children with both myopia and astigmatism — a common combination that some other ortho-k designs handle less effectively.
