Ortho-K Lenses

Discover the Freedom of Ortho-K Lenses

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.

Why Choose Ortho-K?

  • Daytime freedom: Enjoy clear vision during the day without wearing glasses or daytime contact lenses.
  • Myopia management: Helps slow myopia progression in children and teenagers.
  • Non-surgical and reversible: Offers a vision correction option without permanent surgical changes.
  • Custom-fit for your eyes: Each lens is designed based on your corneal shape for better comfort, fit, and effectiveness.
  • Active lifestyle friendly: A convenient option for sports, outdoor activities, and busy daily routines.

How Do Ortho-K Lenses Work?

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.

  • Worn overnight: The lenses are worn before bedtime and work while you sleep.
  • Gentle corneal reshaping: The lens temporarily changes the corneal surface to improve how light enters the eye.
  • Clear daytime vision: The lenses are removed in the morning, so you can enjoy clear vision during the day.
  • Temporary and reversible: If lens wear is stopped, the cornea gradually returns to its original shape.

Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?

  • Children and teenagers with progressing myopia.
  • Adults who want freedom from glasses or daytime contact lenses.
  • Active individuals who prefer clear vision for sports, work, or daily activities.
  • People who find daytime contact lenses inconvenient or uncomfortable.
  • Suitable candidates looking for a non-surgical and reversible vision correction option.

Is Ortho-K Right for You?

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.

Here’s What We’ll Check

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.

Visual Acuity

Visual Acuity

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.

Refraction

Refraction

This is a standard eye examination used to determine your refractive error and provide the correct prescription before issuing new glasses.

Dry Eye Assessment

Dry Eye Assessment

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.

Anterior Eye Assessment

Anterior Eye Assessment

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.

Corneal Keratometry

Corneal Keratometry

Measurement of the anterior curvature of the cornea, particularly the central 3 mm zone, to determine the corneal refractive power and astigmatism.

Contact Lens Fitting

Contact Lens Fitting

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.

Insertion & Removal

Insertion & Removal

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.

Handling & Replacement
