Ortho-K or OK Lens is a non-surgical process that reshapes the cornea overnight using specially designed rigid gas permeable contact lenses, allowing clear vision without glasses during the day. The treatment involves an initial exam to determine candidacy, fitting of trial lenses, instruction on lens use, and follow-up visits to ensure proper fitting and eye health. Optimal vision can be achieved within one to four weeks and the treatment can slow nearsightedness progression, with benefits including reversibility and lower cost compared to refractive surgery.

OVERVIEW
What is Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) or OK Lens?
Ortho-K or “OK Lens” is a revolutionary non-surgical process that improves your vision and
eliminates the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. It works by gently reshaping the
front surface of the eye (cornea) by wearing a specially designed high oxygen rigid gas
permeable (RGP) lens while you sleep. You will have clear, sharp and natural vision during
waking hours.

4. FAQ
Optimal vision can be achieved within one to four weeks. However, it is very common
for some to reach excellent vision in the next day or two. Duration of the treatment
depends on the severity of the initial prescription. While the cornea is being reshaped
during the rst few days, it may be necessary for some to be tted with a temporary
soft contact until optimal treatment result is achieved.
