Brooke’s Ortho-K Success Story!

Brooke, our wonderful 12-year-old patient, was recently fitted with advanced Ortho-K lenses. She started at almost –5.25 nearsighted, and within just 3 days, her prescription was reduced by 40% — easily and painlessly!

Over the next 3 weeks, Brooke went from wearing glasses full-time to enjoying clear vision all day long without glasses or soft contacts. She simply wears her Ortho-K lenses at night while she sleeps, and wakes up seeing clearly!
​
Brooke loves the freedom her new vision gives her — no glasses to worry about during sports, activities, swimming, or school.
If you want the same comfort, clarity, and freedom for your child, ask us about Ortho-K!

What is Ortho-K

Are you told year after year your child needs stronger glasses? Wishing there was another alternative. Ask us about Ortho-K. 

Specialized contact lenses designed to correct nearsightedness or myopia by reshaping the cornea while you sleep. Ortho-K has been around since the 1960s where doctors learned that reshaping  the cornea could reduce a persons prescription.

  • Small contact lenses worn painlessly overnight
  • Reshapes the front surface of the eye (cornea)
  • Lens is removed in the morning giving clear vision for the day.
  • No glasses or contacts during the day

Ortho-K is used for nearsightness, myopia and astigmatism. In some cases Ortho-K can also help patients over 40 regain their near vision. 

Why Treat Myopia

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a progressive eye disease that can grow worse over time. Myopia can cause a list of eye health concerns which increases the higher you are. 
  • Macular Denegation
  • Retinal Detachment
  • Tears in the Retina
  • For each -1.00 increase the risk increases by 67%
  • Every high perception matters

How Do We Fit the Lenses

We employ cutting-edge technologies to accurately measure the shape and curvature of the cornea, which enables us to assess the fit of the Ortho-K lenses precisely. Using this topography (complete mapping of the cornea), we are able to make a custom fitting lens for your exact needs.

No Pain or Surgery

Ortho-K is:
  • Non-invasive
  • No surgical incisions or healing time.
  • Works while you sleep
  • Reversible

By wearing specialized contact lenses overnight, the cornea is gently flattened to reduce your prescription. As a result, during the day, you will not need to wear glasses or contact lenses.

Perfect for Kids & Adults

📈 Nearsightedness Is on the Rise

Recent studies show a significant increase in nearsightedness, with rates climbing 30–40% in the United States — and even higher among Asian populations. With children spending more time on digital devices, phones, and computers, addressing this growing concern has become more important than ever.
👀 A Clear Solution for Kids and Adults
For adults looking for an alternative to glasses or daytime contacts — or those who prefer not to undergo laser eye surgery — Ortho-K offers an excellent option. Imagine waking up with clear vision and enjoying your day without the hassle of glasses or the discomfort of traditional contacts, especially during sports or outdoor activities.

🌙 What Is Ortho-K?

Also known as CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy) or Myopic Reduction Therapy, Ortho-K gently reshapes the cornea overnight using specially designed lenses. During the day, patients enjoy crisp, glasses-free vision.

💡 Proven Benefits for Children

Ortho-K has been shown to significantly slow myopia progression, and in some cases, even halt it entirely. By controlling the progression of nearsightedness, Ortho-K can also help reduce long-term risks associated with high myopia, such as glaucoma and other sight-threatening conditions.
If you’re concerned about your child’s changing prescription — or if you’re an adult seeking visual freedom — ask us whether Ortho-K is right for you!
