Your Local Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Experts

Overnight contact lenses that reshape your cornea while you sleep, providing clear vision all day without glasses or daytime contacts.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses specially designed gas permeable contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. When you remove the lenses in the morning, you can see clearly all day without glasses or daytime contacts. Ortho-K is also one of the most effective methods for myopia (nearsightedness) control in children. By wearing Ortho-K lenses, children can slow the progression of their myopia, reducing their risk of high myopia and associated eye diseases later in life. At EyeCare Center of Orange County, we specialize in Ortho-K fitting for both vision correction and myopia management.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) FAQs for Forster Ranch Patients

How does Ortho-K work?+

Ortho-K lenses gently reshape your cornea while you sleep using hydraulic forces under the lens. The corneal reshaping temporarily corrects your refractive error, allowing clear vision when you remove the lenses in the morning.

Is Ortho-K safe for children?+

Yes, Ortho-K is very safe for children when properly fitted and monitored. It is FDA-approved and has been used worldwide for decades. For children with progressive myopia, Ortho-K provides the added benefit of slowing myopia progression.

How long do Ortho-K results last?+

Clear vision typically lasts throughout the day. Some patients with higher prescriptions may notice slight vision reduction by evening. Consistent nightly wear maintains optimal results.

What happens if I stop wearing Ortho-K lenses?+

Ortho-K is fully reversible. If you stop wearing the lenses, your cornea gradually returns to its original shape over several days to weeks, and your original prescription returns.

Can Ortho-K correct astigmatism?+

Yes, Ortho-K can correct low to moderate amounts of astigmatism (typically up to -1.75D). Modern lens designs can address both myopia and astigmatism simultaneously.
