What is Ortho-K?
Orthokeratology (commonly known as Ortho-K) is a non-surgical method of vision correction using custom-fit, breathable contact lenses worn overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, giving you clear vision during the day – no glasses or daytime contacts needed. Ortho-K is a safe, reversible alternative to LASIK eye surgery and is particularly popular for myopia control in children.
