We are now able to offer our patients an exciting non-surgical, vision
correction therapy that can provide clear, natural, daytime distance vision, without the need for spectacles or contact lenses.
This treatment is called Orthokeratology (Ortho-K for short). Although the
treatment has been around for some time, the latest technology has enabled
thousands of contact lens patients in many countries in particular Holland, America,
and Canada to experience a new sense of freedom with their vision.
Ortho-K
involves wearing special, individually designed and comfortable contact lenses
during the night. While asleep the lenses gently and painlessly reshape the
corneal curvature, and consequently reduce the degree of short sight.
The following morning after they have been removed patients can see clearly all
day long. Due to their special design patients can still see clearly while
wearing the lenses, even if they wake during the night. Full vision correction
usually takes a few days to achieve. Click here to read more > > >
