Ortho-K

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Ortho-K lenses are a custom-made rigid gas permeable contact lens that are able to gently reshape the front surface of the eye, the cornea, while you sleep.

Like “braces for your eyes,” you go to sleep wearing these contact lenses, take them out in the morning and you will have clear, functional vision throughout the day, without the need of glasses or contact lenses!

Like magic, you will forget that you ever had blurry vision; numerous clinical studies have shown that it is very effective at slowing down or stopping short-sighted progression.

Ortho-K is the leading treatment for Myopia Management (slowing down progression of prescription and abnormal growth of the eye)
Allows freedom from glasses and contact lenses throughout the day
Suitable for everyone, from children as young as 7 to adults 60 years and over
Only worn at night while sleeping (TGA and FDA approved)
Completely safe to wear and convenient to use

Ortho-K a great alternative to Laser corrective surgery as:

it is non-invasive, non-surgical option that will correct your vision.
it is completely reversible = which means we can continue to adapt the shape of the lens, as your needs or prescription changes.
it slows down myopic progression
it doesn’t cause dry eyes
it is suitable for ages (there is no minimum age requirement).

This technology was first introduced in the 1980s, has been around and refined for many years now. Orthokeratology is a specialty contact lens offering and not offered by every optometrist; Insightful Eyecare group is proud to offer Ortho-K treatments to our patients.
