Schedule Ortho-K ConsultationHow Ortho-K Works
Ortho-K uses specially designed gas permeable contact lenses worn only during sleep to gently reshape the front surface of your eye.
Wear at Night
Insert your custom-fitted Ortho-K lenses before bed. They work while you sleep, gently reshaping your cornea.
Wake Up Seeing
Remove the lenses in the morning and enjoy clear, natural vision all day long without glasses or contacts.
Live Freely
Go about your day — work, exercise, swim — with clear vision and nothing on your eyes.
Ortho-K vs. LASIK Surgery
Both provide freedom from daytime glasses and contacts, but with important differences.

- 100% reversible — stop anytime
- No permanent changes to your eye
- Adjustable as your vision changes
- Safe for most prescriptions
- Results in 1-2 weeks

- Ongoing lens care needed
LASIK Surgery
- No daily maintenance required

- Permanent and irreversible
- Not suitable for everyone
- Dry eye side effects common
- Enhancement may be needed later

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ortho-K safe?
Yes. Ortho-K has been FDA-approved since 2002. With proper fitting and care, it's a safe and effective vision correction method. Our doctors have extensive experience fitting these specialized lenses.
How long does the effect last?
After removing the lenses in the morning, most patients enjoy clear vision for the entire day. Some may notice slight blur by evening, which is normal. Consistent nightly wear maintains optimal results.
What happens if I stop wearing them?
Your vision will gradually return to its original state over a few days to weeks. This reversibility is one of the key advantages of Ortho-K over surgical options.
Can I wear them if I have astigmatism?
Yes! Modern Ortho-K lens designs can correct astigmatism up to -1.75D. Our advanced fitting technology ensures precise correction for astigmatic corneas.
