Imagine waking up each morning with clear vision, without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses. That is the freedom Ortho-K, or Orthokeratology lenses, can offer.
Ortho-K lenses are specially designed, custom-fit contact lenses worn overnight while you sleep. They gently reshape the front surface of the cornea, allowing you to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses. Suitable for both children and adults, Ortho-K can be a practical option for people who want clear daytime vision with a non-surgical and reversible approach.
Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight while you sleep. During this time, the lenses gently reshape the front surface of the cornea so that light can focus more accurately on the retina. In the morning, the lenses are removed, allowing you to see clearly throughout the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Ortho-K may be suitable for both children and adults, depending on your prescription, corneal shape, tear condition, and overall eye health. For children, it can be especially helpful in managing myopia progression. For adults, it can offer greater convenience, clearer daytime vision, and an alternative to glasses, daytime contact lenses, or refractive surgery. A detailed assessment with our optometrist is needed to determine whether Ortho-K is the right option for you.
RGP Lens Fitting & Assessment involves a series of comprehensive eye tests to evaluate your vision, examine the health of your eyes, and determine the most suitable lenses for your lifestyle. These tests ensure a precise, comfortable fit and personalised care tailored to your individual visual needs.
Clinical measure of the eye's ability to resolve fine detail at a standardized distance. It quantifies the clarity or sharpness of central vision, which is essential for tasks such as reading, driving, and facial recognition.
This is a standard eye examination used to determine your refractive error and provide the correct prescription before issuing new glasses.
Diagnostic evaluation to determine the presence, type, and severity of Dry Eye Disease (DED). Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tear film is unstable, leading to discomfort, visual disturbances, and potential ocular surface damage.
Detailed examination of the front part of the eye, including the cornea, lens, and surrounding structures. Using advanced equipment, this assessment helps detect early signs of eye disease, monitor contact lens safety, and ensure your eyes remain healthy and comfortable.
Measurement of the anterior curvature of the cornea, particularly the central 3 mm zone, to determine the corneal refractive power and astigmatism.
Our optometrist will assess how well the lenses fit on your eyes, checking their movement, stability, and comfort. This ensures you enjoy clear vision while keeping your eyes healthy. There will be different fitting processes that are tailored for different types of specialty lenses.
You’ll be guided through proper techniques for inserting and removing your lenses safely. This hands-on training helps you build confidence and comfort in handling your lenses.
We’ll explain the best practices for cleaning, storing, and replacing your lenses on schedule. Following these steps helps prevent infections and keeps your eyes comfortable for daily wear.
