Ortho-K, accelerated orthokeratology, is a safe alternative to LASIK surgery!

• After correction, you see better without the help from glasses or daytime contact lens wear

• Vision improvement occurs rapidly in days and weeks

• Free from surgical risk, the process is convenient and comfortable, without disrupting visual performance

• Children and adults can benefit

• Natural vision for recreation, sports and leisure

NO more glasses. Can you imagine the joy of waking up in the morning and not having to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day? It would free you up for a host of activities that you may otherwise avoid because of your need to wear glasses or contact lenses.

Now there is a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment that improves your natural vision in a matter of hours - days - weeks. Your nearsightedness and astigmatism may improve dramatically the next day after your first fitting with the new Ortho-K therapy.

This new medical method is called Ortho-K and it works. The Ortho-K procedure is achieved by wearing specially-designed contact lenses that have been custom designed to gently change the shape of your cornea, the front curvature of your eye, so as to safely and gently improve tour vision. This marvelous new method of vision improvement is accomplished by applying a series of accelerated contact lenses most often worn over a period of weeks or several months to attain better vision.  Ortho-K is safe, effective, and best of all, non-surgical.

Before Ortho-K lenses are applied to your eyes, we will measure the curvature of your cornea. This latest procedure of Ortho-K is painless and is done with our sophisticated computerized instrument called a Corneal Topographer, that does Corneal Mapping.

The elevation, shape, and power changes of the cornea are displayed with sophisticated colored maps, along with a variety of other computerized displays. This latest method of measuring the cornea is truly state-of-the-art, allowing us to analyze the initial topography of the cornea and subsequent changes as the corneal molding therapy progresses.       

Most of the visual changes that occur rapidly with Ortho-K happen in the first few days and weeks. Because of the rapid improvement in vision, there is a need for frequent examinations and progressive lens changes. Following the accelerated change to better vision, stabilization procedures then follow at a slower pace over the next few months.
