How does Ortho-K work?
Enjoy clear vision without wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses all-day. Simply wear the lenses at night, and remove them during the day.
Changes only occur in the outer most part of the Cornea, the Epithelium. All changes are temporary, and very small. It’s smaller than the thickness of a strand of hair.
1. The user will wear the Ortho-K lenses before sleeping and remove them after waking up.
2. While the lenses are worn during the user’s sleep, the Ortho-K lenses gently change the shape of the outermost part of the person’s Cornea. This part is called the Corneal Epithelium.
3. As to the other parts of the Cornea, no changes are expected from them during the Ortho-K process.
4. People with Nearsightedness and Astigmatism will have the outermost part of their Cornea flatten to correct their vision.

5. The Ortho-K Lenses are removed after waking up. After removing the lenses, the user can enjoy clearer vision without wearing eyeglasses and Contact Lenses all-day long.
6. This effect may last up to a day or two. The Ortho-K user may need to wear their lenses every night to maintain a clear vision. Sometimes, wearing the lenses can be lessened to 5 to 6 times a week once the vision is stable.
7. The lenses are soaked in a high-quality Contact Lens solution while they are not being used. This makes sure that bacteria’s, viruses, fungus, and other harmful pathogens are destroyed before using the lenses again.
8. Besides the daily used contact lens solution, your eye care practitioner will prescribe a stronger Cleaning Solution.
This more powerful solution is used less frequently. It is more effective in removing and cleaning protein from the surface of the lens. This assures us that the lenses are free from any microorganisms that may contaminate the lens.
