Find Freedom from Nearsightedness with Ortho-K

Myopia (nearsightedness) is an increasingly common condition with research indicating that 50% of the population will be myopic by 2050. Living with myopia often means relying on glasses or contact lenses to see clearly. But what if we told you that you could wake up each day with clear vision—without needing to reach for your glasses or put in contacts?

With Ortho-K (orthokeratology), this is not merely a dream but a reality. At Project Eyecare Optometry, we specialize in myopia management and offer Ortho-K lenses to help patients enjoy freedom from daytime glasses and contacts while effectively managing their myopia.

What is Ortho-K and How Does it Work?

Ortho-K is a non-surgical myopia management treatment that involves wearing specially designed gas permeable contact lenses overnight. These lenses correct your vision overnight by reshaping your cornea as you sleep allowing you to wake up with enhanced vision. Unlike traditional glasses or daytime contact lenses, Ortho-K lenses are worn only at night, giving you the freedom to go about your day without the need for corrective eyewear.

At Project Eyecare Optometry, our Ortho-K program is tailored to each patient's unique needs, ensuring the best results for clear vision and long-term myopia management.

The Benefits of Ortho-K: Freedom and More

The perks of Ortho-K speak for themselves, but for those who aren’t familiar with the treatment, here are some of our favorite benefits:

• Freedom from Glasses or Contacts: Ortho-K gives you the ability to see clearly during the day without relying on glasses or contact lenses. This is perfect for those who want total freedom of movement while playing sports or those who simply feel overstimulated by the feeling of glasses on their face all day.
• Slows Myopia Progression: Ortho-K is not only about clear vision; it’s also an effective method for managing and slowing the progression of myopia, particularly in children. By controlling the corneal shape at night, Ortho-K can help prevent myopia from worsening over time.
• Non-Surgical Solution: Unlike LASIK or other refractive surgeries, Ortho-K is non-invasive and completely reversible – when you stop wearing the lenses for an extended period your eyes will revert to their original state. It’s a great option for those who may not be candidates for surgery or prefer a non-surgical approach to myopia correction.
• Comfort and Convenience: With Ortho-K lenses, you only wear them at night. This means no discomfort from contact lenses during the day and no worrying about your glasses slipping or fogging up.

The Ortho-K Process at Project Eyecare Optometry

At Project Eyecare Optometry, our Ortho-K program begins with a comprehensive eye exam to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment. We use advanced technology to take precise measurements of your cornea and create custom-designed lenses specifically for your eyes.

Once you begin wearing your Ortho-K lenses overnight, our team will monitor your progress with regular follow-up visits to ensure your vision is improving as expected. Many patients begin to see noticeable results within just a few nights of wearing Ortho-K lenses.
