If you or your child has ever wished for better vision without daytime glasses or contacts, orthokeratology—commonly known as Ortho-K—might be the solution. At Family Vision Solutions in Spring, TX, we specialize in this safe, non-surgical treatment that helps reshape your vision while you sleep.
What Is Ortho-K?
Orthokeratology involves wearing specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses overnight. These lenses gently reshape the front surface of your eye (the cornea), so you can see clearly during the day without the need for glasses or contacts. It’s like wearing invisible braces for your eyes—except the results are noticeable after just a single night.
Ortho-K is FDA-approved and non-invasive, making it a popular choice for patients looking for a non-surgical alternative to vision correction procedures like LASIK.
Who Is Ortho-K For?
Ortho-K is ideal for a range of patients, including:
1. Children with Myopia (Nearsightedness)
Myopia is on the rise, especially in children. Ortho-K not only corrects vision but has also been proven to slow the progression of myopia. This can help reduce the risk of developing serious eye diseases later in life, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, or macular degeneration.
2. Adults with Active Lifestyles
If you’re tired of foggy glasses at the gym or struggling with contacts during outdoor activities, Ortho-K can offer the freedom to live your life without lenses getting in the way.
3. Patients Not Eligible for LASIK
For those who can’t undergo refractive surgery due to age, health conditions, or personal preference, Ortho-K offers a reversible, non-invasive alternative with comparable vision benefits.
4. People with Mild to Moderate Astigmatism
Advancements in lens design have made Ortho-K an option for individuals with low to moderate levels of astigmatism. It’s important to have a consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate.
