Fully Customized Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Treatment (For Adults)

This treatment involves wearing a fully customized mould to sleep to reshape the corneas into a better focusing system. Just like braces, this treatment acts very gently on the eyes. After a night of sleep, clear vision is achieved and no glasses will be needed for the rest of the day. Adults who are not suitable for LASIK or other refractive surgery Orthokeratology lenses are suitable for: Adults who are not suitable for LASIK or other refractive surgery Not everyone is suitable for refractive surgery if there is: - Severe dry eyes - Presence of eye disease - High refractive power - Thin cornea Orthokeratology may be a suitable option for such individuals as the lenses do not remove any corneal tissue but simply reshape the cornea to correct the refractive error. Adults who are unsuitable for disposable contact lenses due to dryness/discomfort, high eye power (high degree of shortsightedness or astigmatism) Our orthokeratology lenses can correct high degree of shortsightedness and astigmatism as they are customised to the individual eye. Adults who are approaching presbyopia or are presbyopic It is not uncommon to experience change in eye power starting from age 40 onwards due to the development of presbyopia and/or cataracts. The effects of refractive surgery are permanent, which means that the surgical correction done in the 20s and 30s may become unsuitable and one would need to return to wearing glasses. Since orthokeratology does not make permanent changes to your eye, the lenses can also be modified to the new eye power so that you can continue to enjoy clear vision without glasses.
