What are the benefits of Ortho-K?

1. An alternative option to correct Myopia or Nearsightedness

Simply expect clearer vision after waking up and removing your lenses. No need for glasses and contact lenses the whole day.

2. Slows down the progression of Nearsightedness

There are many researches that have proven that Orthokeratology can decrease the progression of Myopia, especially on children. Some of the researches are: (Santodomingo-Rubido 2017) (Wen 2015) (Li 2016) (Lowe 2013)

3. Freedom from Eyeglasses and Daytime Contact Lenses

Since you only use Ortho-K lenses at nighttime, you are less dependent on Eyeglasses and daytime Contact Lenses during the whole day

4. Effective for people with progressing eyeglass prescription

Ortho-K lenses can be updated in case prescription changed in the future, making it future proof.

5. Less dependence from Daytime Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses means lesser restrictions

Play sports and do outdoor activities without worrying about your Contact Lenses and the restricting visual field of an Eyeglass
