Transform Your Vision Overnight with Ortho-K
Orthokeratology, commonly known as ortho-k, is an innovative solution for managing myopia (nearsightedness) in children and adolescents. It involves wearing specialized gas-permeable lenses overnight to gently reshape the cornea during sleep, leading to sharp and clear vision throughout the day without the use of glasses or contacts.
Unlocking the Power of Ortho-K with Ada Vision Center East
Ortho-k lenses offer a groundbreaking approach to vision correction for people aged 8 and above. This revolutionary technique includes two FDA-approved brands of lenses:
- Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) by Paragon Vision Sciences
- Vision Shaping Treatment (VST) by Bausch and Lomb
Who Can Benefit From Ortho-K?
Ortho-k is an excellent choice for people with varying vision requirements, including:
- Those who are ineligible for vision correction surgeries like LASIK, especially children
- Active individuals and athletes seeking visual freedom
- Individuals working in environments with dust, dirt, or hazardous chemicals who can’t wear eyeglasses or contact lenses safely
Why Choose Ortho-K Lenses?
Ortho-k delivers consistent and impressive results, especially for mild vision prescriptions. Remarkably, more than 65% of patients achieve 20/20 vision without relying on glasses or contacts, and an astounding 90% surpasses the 20/40 requirement for driving without the need for corrective lenses.
Keep in mind that although noticeable improvements often occur shortly after starting ortho-k, full results may take a few weeks, and you may need temporary eyeglasses during this adjustment period.
Embrace the Benefits of Ortho-K
Transitioning to ortho-k lenses brings a multitude of benefits, including:
- Comfortable Correction: Unlike conventional gas permeable lenses, ortho-k lenses are worn overnight, ensuring daytime comfort without discomfort.
- Effortless Transformation: The painless ortho-k process leads to remarkable vision outcomes, offering a new perspective on the world around you.
- Investing in Your Vision: Consider ortho-k as an investment in your sight, providing a pathway to clearer vision without daytime eyewear.
- Myopia Management: Ortho-k contributes to myopia control in children and adolescents, minimizing the risk of future eye conditions.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Although the initial investment might be higher than standard contacts, ortho-k lenses can offer long-term cost savings.
- Non-Surgical and Temporary: Experience vision correction without surgical intervention or daytime eyewear reliance.
- LASIK Compatibility: Ortho-k doesn't eliminate LASIK as a future option; simply discuss your plans with your eye doctor and surgeon.
