Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology more commonly referred to as ‘Ortho-K', the use of contact lenses to reshape the cornea (front surface of the eyes) in order to reduce levels of myopia and Astigmatism.
The cornea is highly elastic and therefore the use of custom made orthokeratology contact lenses can achieve a flattening effect, improving vision during the day.
The lenses are worn at night only whilst sleeping and removed in the morning for all day useable vision.
The effect generally lasts for all regular waking hours and as the lenses are inserted again the next evening then seamless clear vision can be maintained.
Safety is paramount with any type of contact lens, and orthokeratology lenses are made from the safest and highest oxygen permeable materials to maximise ocular health.
The Orthokeratology patient, once successfully fitted, is then free from wearing spectacles or conventional contact lenses during the day, improving lifestyle at the same time as vision.
It is an ideal solution for persons who have issues in air conditioning with regular daytime contact lenses and for those who wish to play sport freely
