Orthokeratology (ortho-k) gives you clear daytime vision without surgery, glasses, or daytime contacts—by gently reshaping your cornea while you sleep.
Wake up to clear vision—no glasses or contacts needed during the day
A non-surgical, reversible option for vision correction
May even help slow nearsightedness progression in children

How does orthokeratology work?

Ortho-k uses specially designed, gas-permeable contact lenses to temporarily reshape your cornea while you sleep.

Put in your lenses at bedtime

The specially designed lenses gently reshape your cornea overnight.

Remove lenses when you wake up

Simply take out the lenses in the morning.

Enjoy clear vision all day

Experience clear vision without daytime corrective lenses.
The reshaping effect typically lasts throughout your day, and the process is completely reversible if you decide to stop treatment.
