Orthokeratology: Nighttime Lenses, Daytime Clarity
Orthokeratology (ortho-k) involves wearing gas-permeable contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea—the eye's clear front surface. By morning, when the lenses are removed, individuals can enjoy clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Inclima Eye Care offers ortho-k for individuals of all ages, providing a versatile and non-surgical solution to correct vision.
Ortho-k lenses apply gentle pressure to the cornea, modifying its curvature to correct refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
This corneal reshaping adjusts how light enters the eye, focusing it correctly on the retina to provide clear vision. The effects are temporary, requiring regular overnight wear to maintain the vision correction.
Who Can Benefit From Orthokeratology Lenses?
Orthokeratology is suitable for individuals of all ages looking for a flexible alternative to eyeglasses, daytime contacts, or refractive surgery. It's particularly beneficial for:
- Children and teenagers with progressive myopia, as ortho-k, can slow the worsening of their nearsightedness.
- Adults with mild to moderate myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism seeking a non-surgical solution to dependence on corrective eyewear.
- Those with active lifestyles or occupations that make wearing glasses or contacts challenging.
