Meet Brooke, who is FREE from her glasses within 3 weeks!
Kids are active! FREE them from the hassle of glasses and daily contact lenses.
Brooke, our wonderful 12-year old patient has been been fitted in advanced Ortho-K lens. Brooke started out close to -5.25 nearsighted and within the first 3 days her prescription was cut by 40% - easily and painlessly! Over the next 3-weeks Brooke went from being dependent on glasses full-time to not having to wear glasses or soft contact lenses at all! She simply wears her Ortho-K lenses at night while she sleeps.
She loves the freedom her new vision brings. Not having to worry about glasses or soft contacts with sports, activities, swimming, or school! Wanting the same level of comfort 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.
Ortho-K is used for nearsightness, myopia and astigmatism. In some cases Ortho-K can also help patients over 40 regain their near vision.

- 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

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

Perfect for Kids & Adults
Nearsightedness is on the rise!
Recent studies have revealed a concerning surge in nearsightedness progression, with rates escalating by as much as 30-40% in the United States alone (with the highest rates among Asians). With children's increased usage of digital devices, phones, and computers, it has become imperative to tackle this issue head-on.
For adults seeking an alternative to glasses or contacts, or those who prefer not to undergo laser eye surgery, ortho-k can be an outstanding option. Just envision the convenience of not having to worry about the hassles of glasses or the discomfort of contacts during sports or other activities.
Ortho-K, also known as CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy - or Myopic Reduction Therapy), has demonstrated the ability to significantly slow down nearsightedness progression and, in some instances, even halt it altogether. This approach can also mitigate the risks associated with higher levels of myopia and conditions such as glaucoma.
