Orthokeratology refers to wearing specially designed contact lens molds (CRT/Ortho-K) at night. While your child sleeps, the molds gently reshape their cornea. Based on the research, wearing these lenses every night helps slow myopia progression. Many patients embrace the idea of enjoying vision correction without having to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses during the day.
Orthokeratology may also be an ideal choice for adults who simply don't like the idea of any kind of corrective surgery but would like to be free of glasses and contact lens during waking hours. Talk to our knowledgeable staff to see whether Ortho-K makes sense for you or your child.
