Orthokeratology
Ortho K is ideal for low to mid short sighted patients who:
- Want clear natural vision all day;
- Find Soft contact lenses do not fulfill their eye correction requirements- either through lifestyle or lack of comfort;
- Are involved in sports activities where they would contact lenses are not ideal;
- Have considered laser surgery but are concerned about the risks.
How does it work?
State of the art computer contour maps of the eye allow us to design high oxygen contact lenses which reshape the eye surface. These lenses are worn overnight and removed in the morning. During overnight wear the lenses change the surface of the eye in a similar way to using a retainer brace for teeth realignment. The lenses need to be worn consistently because unlike laser treatment Ortho K is totally reversible.
Cost
The cost of this specialized technique is no more than wearing a premium daily disposable lens and after the second year it is even less.
