by Laguna Eye Care | 14 years ago

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Imagine if you could correct your nearsightedness and reduce your dependency on corrective lenses (glasses and contact lenses)...while you sleep! It might sound far-fetched, but it's a reality for many people. It's called Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, and it is available at IQ Laser Vision. With an increase in the public demand for vision correction, Ortho-K is a great, non-surgical, low-risk option to help improve vision. Take back the freedom to play sports, go swimming, and live your life without the restrictions of daily-use corrective lenses. Nighttime treatment. Daytime freedom. Typically used to treat: Myopia Myopia progression (worsening) Orthokeratology is the design and unique fitting of special gas permeable contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, so that you can see clearly after you remove the lenses when you wake-up. The FDA-approval of overnight wear of corneal reshaping lenses has made Ortho-K much more convenient and has led to a surge in its popularity. With overnight Ortho-K, all corneal reshaping takes place while you sleep, and no corrective lenses are needed during the day. Each lens is designed specifically for the needs of your eye by a highly-trained, experienced doctor. The lenses are designed to gently reshape the cornea in order for light to refract more accurately onto the retina. The lenses are made a unique material that is designed for overnight wear and provides greater oxygen permeability.
