Orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction method that offers freedom from eyeglasses and daytime contact lenses. Also referred to as Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), this treatment involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea and improve vision temporarily.

What Vision Problems Does Ortho-K Treat?

Ortho-K is most commonly used to treat:

• Myopia (Nearsightedness): Ortho-K is effective for people with mild to moderate myopia, allowing them to see distant objects clearly without glasses or daytime contact lenses.

• Astigmatism: These lenses can correct mild astigmatism, where the cornea is irregularly shaped, resulting in blurred vision.

• Myopia Control: Ortho-K is often recommended for children and adolescents to help slow myopia progression as their eyes grow.
