Ortho-K for children
Orthokeratology is a safe, nonsurgical treatment. While your child is asleep, the lenses apply pressure to the cornea, gently reshaping the eye to allow improved vision in the morning that lasts all day.Unlike glasses that can get lost or broken during play, Ortho-K offers all the benefits of contact lenses or glasses without the danger of your child losing them. The lenses are rigid and sit upon the eye. This means that unlike soft contact lenses, there is no risk of losing a lens behind the eye.
Ortho-K & Astigmatism
For sufferers of astigmatism, Ortho-K provides hassle-free correction. These firm lenses are pain-free and are as easy to maintain as regular contact lenses. They are non-intrusive into your lifestyle in the way that glasses and regular contact are because you only need to wear them at night.
