Find Out If You’re a Good Fit for Ortho-K Lenses

If you’ve been searching for a non-surgical way to manage your vision without wearing glasses or daytime contact lenses, orthokeratology (Ortho-K) might be the solution. At Ocean Park Optometry, we offer this innovative vision correction option for children and adults who want clearer sight without daytime eyewear.
 

What Are Ortho-K Lenses?

Ortho-K lenses are custom-designed rigid gas-permeable lenses that gently reshape the cornea while you sleep. In the morning, you remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision throughout the day - no glasses or contacts needed. These lenses are particularly popular for managing myopia (nearsightedness) and slowing its progression in children.
 

Who’s a Good Candidate for Ortho-K?

While Ortho-K isn't right for everyone, it can be an excellent choice for many people, including:

• Children and teens with progressing myopia

• Adults with mild to moderate myopia or astigmatism

• Active individuals who want freedom from glasses or daytime contacts

• People seeking a non-surgical LASIK alternative
   

Your eye health, corneal shape, and prescription will all help determine whether Ortho-K is a good fit for you. A comprehensive eye exam at Ocean Park Optometry is the first step.
 

What to Expect During the Ortho-K Fitting Process

The fitting process is detailed and personalized to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal results. We’ll start with a thorough eye exam to assess your vision, eye health, and discuss your lifestyle needs and goals.
 

Using advanced imaging technology, we’ll map the surface of your cornea to understand its exact shape. This step is essential for designing lenses that will gently and effectively reshape your cornea overnight. Based on your eye measurements, we’ll create custom Ortho-K lenses. You'll try them on in our office so we can evaluate the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
 

You’ll wear your lenses overnight and return the next day for follow-up testing. We’ll monitor how your corneas respond and make adjustments as needed to ensure the best vision and comfort. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to track your eye health and vision improvement, ensuring your Ortho-K lenses continue to work safely and effectively.
