Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Services
See Clearly Without Daytime Contacts or Glasses!
Imagine waking up in the morning and seeing clearly without reaching for your glasses or putting in contact lenses. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) makes this possible. At our Ryrie Street, Geelong store we’re proud to offer this advanced, non-surgical vision correction solution to help our patients achieve clearer vision and greater freedom.
What is Orthokeratology?
Orthokeratology, often called Ortho-K, is a specialised vision correction therapy that uses custom-designed specialty contact lenses to gently reshape the front surface of the eye overnight. When you remove the lenses in the morning, your vision is corrected throughout the day—without the need for glasses or traditional contact lenses.
Who is Ortho-K For?
Ortho-K is suitable for a wide range of patients, including:
• Children and Teenagers: Slowing the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) is a key benefit of OrthoK, making it an excellent option for young patients.
• Active Adults: If glasses or daytime contacts interfere with your lifestyle, Ortho-K can provide the freedom you need for sports, outdoor activities, and more.
• Non-Surgical Candidates: For those who are not ready for LASIK or other surgical options, Ortho-K is a safe and reversible alternative.
How Does Ortho-K Work?
- Comprehensive Eye Exam: During your initial visit, we will assess your vision and eye health to determine if Ortho-K is the right solution for you.
- Custom Lens Fitting: Using advanced technology, we create custom Ortho-K lenses tailored to your unique eye shape.
- Overnight Use: Simply wear the lenses while you sleep. The lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye to correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
- Clear Daytime Vision: After removing the lenses in the morning, you’ll enjoy clear vision all day long without glasses or contacts.
