Orthokeratology

What if you could be free of glasses and contact lenses every day?

Orthokeratology (or Ortho-K) might be suitable for you.

Ortho-K is a specialised contact lens therapy. It involves wearing a rigid contact lens overnight which gently reshapes the cornea (the front of your eye). This means that during the day, you won’t require your glasses or contact lenses at all!

It is often used to correct myopia and can also slow down how quickly your prescription can deteriorate. Ortho-K can be especially useful for those that are not good candidates for laser surgery, have dry eyes or work in conditions where wearing contact lenses throughout the day could cause problems.

Our optometrists are advanced contact lens practitioners so they also utilise Ortho-K in some cases for correcting for hyperopia and presbyopia.

Ortho-K lenses are completely customised for each and every patient, and require special measurements of the eye. Our optometrists are here to walk you through each step of the fitting process. Our expert optometrists then use advanced software to build a completely bespoke lens to match your eye perfectly.
