Ortho-K Lenses

Discover the Freedom of Ortho-K Lenses

Imagine waking up every morning with clear vision, without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. That’s the freedom Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) lenses can give.

Ortho-K lenses are specially designed, custom-fit contact lenses worn overnight while you sleep. They gently reshape the surface of your cornea, so by the time you wake up, you can see clearly throughout the day—no glasses, no lenses, just natural vision.

Why Choose Ortho-K?

Daytime freedom – Perfect for active children, teens, or adults who dislike wearing glasses or contact lenses during the day.
Myopia control – Clinically proven to slow down the progression of short-sightedness in children, reducing the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
Safe & non-surgical – A reversible, non-invasive alternative to LASIK surgery.
Tailored to you – Every Ortho-K lens is custom-made for your unique eye shape, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.

How Do Ortho-K Lenses Work?

Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) lenses are specially designed, oxygen-permeable contact lenses that gently reshape the front surface of your eye (the cornea) while you sleep.

Worn Overnight: You put the lenses in before bedtime. While you sleep, they apply a gentle, controlled pressure to the cornea.
Reshaping the Cornea: This subtle reshaping changes how light enters your eyes, correcting short-sightedness (myopia) so you can see clearly the next day.
Clear Daytime Vision: In the morning, you remove the lenses and enjoy sharp, natural vision throughout the day without glasses or contact lenses.
Safe & Reversible: The effect is temporary. If you stop wearing the lenses, your cornea gradually returns to its original shape, and your vision goes back to what it was.

Who Can Benefit from Ortho-K?

Children and teens with worsening myopia (short-sightedness)
Active individuals or athletes who want clear vision without glasses
Adults not ready for LASIK or other permanent vision correction
Those who struggle with dry eyes or discomfort from daytime contacts

Is Ortho-K Right for My Child?

If your child is becoming more short-sighted each year, Ortho-K could be the solution. By correcting vision overnight and slowing down myopia progression, Ortho-K not only gives them clear sight for school and play but also helps protect their long-term eye health.

Here’s What We’ll Check

Ortho-K 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
