Vision Correction Therapy

Lenses by night - Clear Sight by Day

Ortho K is a vision therapy that brings a modern approach to a technique known as orthokeratology. Ortho K lenses are manufactured from special highly oxygen permeable material. When worn during the night these lenses apply a controlled shape to the 'window' at the front of the eye (the cornea), eliminating your short sightedness. This effect stays strong enough for you to function the entire day without spectacles or contact lenses.

Ortho K utilises the tried and tested Dreamlite lens design that has been available in Europe since 2002 and currently boasts thousands of happy patients. Ortho K is available to patients with the following degrees of short sightedness.

A spherical prescription of -0.75D up to -4.50D
Astigmatism of up to -1.50D

As well as being an expert in all types of contact lens fitting, your eye care practitioner will have attended an extensive programme of training prior to treating patients with Ortho K in order to be better familiarised with our technique and lens design. Your practitioner will be able to advise you to your suitability for Ortho K.

Wake up to a Clear New Future

Can I really just sleep and see?

Yes, once the effect is complete you simply remove the lenses each morning and can see normally. Also - and this is really clever - you will be able to see clearly with the lenses in when you wake up in the morning (or in the middle of the night). It really is a clear future 24/7!

 

A New Dawn for Vision Correction

Introducing Ortho K - a vision correction therapy that provides clear, comfortable vision without the need to wear contact lenses during the day. No more restrictions on how long you wear your lenses, no more irritation in dry, smoky environments at the end of a long day.

Ortho K is ideal for low-mid short sighted people who:

  • Want clear natural vision all day - every day
  • Find soft contact lenses do not fulfil the comfort demands their life-style places on their eyes
  • Are involved in recreational and sports activities where periods without wearing contact lenses is ideal
  • Have considered refractive surgery because of the freedom it provides, but are worried about the risks

So how is this possible? Very simply, Ortho K is a specially designed contact lens that reverses the power of the cornea, at the front of the eye during the overnight wear. Once the full effect has taken place, the eye is effectively 'normal' and can see clearly during the day.

With Ortho K you will benefit from:

  • Freedom from contact lenses and glasses during the day
  • Very easy adaption, only overnight lens wear required
  • A comfortable, semi-permanent alternative for the correction of short sightedness
  • A safe and reversible vision correction therapy without surgery
